I'm one of those people who thinks college football is more fun when USC is winning.
I dunno when Lady Clairol as Hooky use to refer to Pete Carrol was there it was more excitement. Winning the PAC damn near every year and their Showtime LA presence made it easy to dislike them. Now it's just a totally different vibe,good points about travel.These were made by others before all of this and seemingly disregarded by the Suits making bank that didn't have to do it. Gotta be even worse for Stanford in the ACC any of the common folk would have told them that's boardering on madness

Nebraska's not really in the same league.

PSU is just fool's gold every year.  I'll believe they can do it in the new landscape, only when they've actually done it.

And USC is just up against too many challenges.  The travel is going to wear them out and diminish their chances every single year.  Also, although they have substantial NIL money, they're really disorganized and scattered about how they disperse it.  Honestly I don't see USC ever challenging for the B1G.

Would love to be wrong about that though, I'm one of those people who thinks college football is more fun when USC is winning.


Oregon is handling the travel okay.

Not sure it's even 5-6. 

Right now I'd be surprised if anyone other than Ohio State or Oregon wins it.  And Michigan if they hire better a better coach.
If Indiana can come out of nowhere and go 8-1 in the conference,  like they did last year,  then anybody can do it.  Northwestern was a doormat for years then came out of nowhere in 1995 to go to the Rose Bowl.

Its happened in the past,  and it will happen again.  Any program can win  a Big Ten Championship.  Especially if they end up getting rid of CCG and go back to the old co-champion idea.

Last year you could have easily had 4 co-champions if there was no CCG and if Ohio St had beat Oregon.
We are all equal but some are more equal than others.
