LSU 1, USC 2 ...
College football fans don't appear to be quibbling much over who the nation's top two NCAA clubs are.
The gambling specific BGS Power Ratings list LSU as the nations top college football team, followed by Oklahoma in second with USC 3rd & Florida 4th.
Professional Handicappers League members Jerry Johnson and Jimmy Boyd totally concur with the Associated Press' current opinion poll that has Southern Cal on top, followed by LSU.
AP has defending national champion Florida in third, slightly ahead of Oklahoma.
Boyd would reverse that, while Johnson chacterizes third and fourth as a coin flip.
The Las Vegas Hilton has USC and LSU at 9/5 and 5/1 respectively to win the 2008 BCS Championship Jan. 8 in New Orleans.
The Trojans are just 2-0 while the Tigers, Sooners and Gators are 3-0.
"USC still has to be the favorite to win the title," said Boyd, who trails only George Smeader in the PHL's overall standings.
"They have offensive balance and, in my opinion, the premier defense in the country.
"LSU is my No. 2.
"They embarrassed Virginia Tech (48-7) and if they embarrass South Carolina this week, they'll be making even more believers out of people.
"Oklahoma is right on USC's toes, but they haven't played the same caliber of non-conference opponents.
"Miami is not the usual Miami, so I don't give as much weight to that (51-13) blowout."
Johnson lives in Omaha and was in Lincoln last weekend for Southern Cal's 49-31 triumph over then No. 14 Nebraska.
"USC is very, very good," Johnson said.
""They're even bigger and faster when you see them in person.
"It was pretty clear Nebraska couldn't keep up."
Johnson likes the Sooners and Tigers for the same reason: solid defenses.
"This could be (Oklahoma Coach Bob) Stoops' best defensive team," he said.
"LSU also has a very strong defense."
Aside from the fact Florida has "been there, done that," Johnson is impressed with the way Gator players hold Coach Urban Meyer in such high regard.
"They play their hearts out for this guy," he said
Florida meets Mississippi this week as -23 point chalk.
The "Big Four" are laying double-digit lumber: OU is giving 20 points to in-state rival Tulsa, Washington State is getting 27 from USC, LSU is giving 16 to South Carolina.

Why answer this questions? You are a very bias USC fan and will call who ever says LSU is the #1 team bias.
I think its LSU. They have dominated on both sides of the ball. They have aloud 7 points this year. Two shut outs.

as a mountaineer fan i can answer this in an unbiased way. lsu has the offense, defense, fans, coach and talent that will rip through their schedule and leave usc stunned when lsu wins the national championship. so much for espn commentators love of usc and florida, lsu will be the lone king of college football at the end of the season.

USC. I think that they have played tougher teams. And the reason why i dont htink LSU is beacause all games at home i mean comon USC played at NEBRASKA. Sure LSU is gonna have tough games but there all at home for instance VIRGINIA TECH that was at home. And for USC all there hard game are away.Oregon, Nebraska,Washington, Cal, Arizona State. thats why i think USC is #1. Fight on!
