Buc, get back to me when you aren't still predicating your entire SEC Honkitude on the very flawed basis that the SEC is so great simply because they play each other. The SEC is good, but overrated.

Buc, Auburn went undefeated last year in the SEC so spare us your guarantees that USC couldn't also do it in the SEC this or any other year. The best team in the SEC this year is likely LSU (either LSU or Auburn) and if it weren't for some late comedy in the kicking game LSU basically lost to a mid ...

Next year, the three toughest games on the schedule are at Notre Dame, at Penn State and at Ohio State.
That's one snarly bitch of a trifecta, especially if resurgent Penn State isn't a one year wonder.

BtH, even bad Pac 10 teams generally still throw the ball well and put up a decent modicum of yards/points, and it generally hasn't mattered who they play.

Even when they go OOC they might lose the game but they're going to score their points. :-)
