Well, USC went into Autzen Stadium tonight in Oregon, and they got absolutely trucked by an Oregon team that looked like it could have put a boot in the ass of any team in the country with the way they played.
Oregon racked up a ridiculous 613 yards of offense, nearly 400 of it on the ground. We all know USC isn't as good this year as they have been in the past, but still. This was a "take 'em out to the woodshed" kind of game.
The big question now is how far will Oregon climb in the rankings? There's some thought they might jump Boise State, who beat Oregon to start the season.
Now, while Boise State did beat Oregon, Boise State sure as hell didn't face the Oregon team that ran over USC on Saturday night. But that's irrelevant. Or maybe it isn't, depending on the voters.
The fact is Boise State's one difficult game so far has been against Oregon. Their other non-conference games have come against such mighty foes as Miami (OH), Tulsa and UC Davis. UC Davis? You've gotta be kidding me.
I'm not quite sure how I'd vote, but I'll admit Boise State's non-conference schedule looks like crap besides that game against Oregon. And since we all know the WAC is a joke, I really would have liked to have seen Boise State play one more tough opponent.
But by early afternoon tomorrow, we'll have the polls, then we can bitch and moan some more! Should be fun.
