I just can't understand it...Pete Carroll is the best big game college football coach in the country...but every year he allows his far superior Trojans to play down to an inferior opponent...once again, USC will not be playing for the national title even though, come January, they may be the best team in the nation...the loss to Washington ranks right next to the debacle USC had two years ago to Stanford...Every great coach usually has a stunning defeat or two during the course of their career...but this is an annual rite for Carroll...it just makes you scratch your head and wondering why this happens...

The prime game this week is when The U heads into Virginia Tech...a win this week will catapult The U right into the national title scenario...this would set up a huge match-up the next week when one-loss Oklahoma plays at Miami...even though Oklahoma lost in week 1, the Sooners are still in the hunt for the title if they run the table...the loss of Sam Bradford in that game accounts for something...has
There has been some poor officiating this season...for instance, in the Notre Dame-Michigan State game, on the play in which Irish receiver Michael Floyd broke his collarbone, the replay official ruled that Floyd did not have control of the ball after scoring an apparent touchdown...the replays that I watched clearly showed that Floyd had control...this is just one instance of many that left me wondering what the officials were watching...
Don't underestimate Auburn...I watched the last part of the Tigers 41-30 win over West Virginia...Gene Chizik has Auburn playing inspired ball...
Remember the name Ryan Mallett from Arkansas for the Heisman in 2010...this kid has a Dan Marino-like rifle and is very accurate...
If any team can claim a moral victory it would be the Tennessee Volunteers...a 30 point dog at The Swamp, the Volunteers lost by only 10 points to a great Florida team...it helps when the great Monte Kiffin is running your defense...
Finally, I just got done watching a stupid movie on SyFy called "Monster Man"...however, the chick on there was hot - Aimee Brooks (below)...

Surprisingly USC does have a tendency to win the big games and lose the little ones. I would think after this occurring season after season, that Pete Carroll would stress the importance of not looking past your opponents.
