@USCFootballNews Huh? What 3-way tie? We're talking rankings, not Pac-10 standings.

@uscpsycho Agreed. And no way should we be ahead of Oregon. The polls are terrible. TERRIBLE.

@USCFootballNews How do you figure? Oregon beat UW.

ESPN GameDay heading to Utah @ TCU, third Mountain West game in 4 weeks! All hail the Mighty Mighty MWC. - http://www.mwcconnection.com/2009...

RT @InsideUSC "When USC went 0 for 10 on third-down conversions against Washington one argument given to me was that backup Aaron Corp played quarterback in that game. So what's the excuse now that the Trojans went 2 for 13 against Arizona State?" Umm... the Pac-10 is a war? http://www.insidesocal.com/usc...

In both AP and coaches polls, 2-loss Ohio State is ahead of 2-loss USC, which is ahead of 2-loss Oregon. The regular season is the playoff!

Ridiculous. Utterly absurd. | RT @slmandel Coaches poll -- USC No. 10, Oregon No. 16. One-third of your BCS formula, ladies and gentlemen.

Hurricane Ida restrengthens, heads toward U.S. Gulf Coast - http://www.examiner.com/examine...

Whither @GameDayFootball next Sat? Iowa @ Ohio State? Utah @ TCU? (2nd TCU game, 3rd MWC site in 4 wks?) Few options: http://bit.ly/VjRRY *#

Brendan thinks, all things considered, 4-1 is a pretty damn good record in the 5-game stretch USC just completed (@Cal, @ND, vs. Oregon State, @Oregon, @ASU). And yet this appears to be the worst Trojan team since 2001. And yet they're 3 home wins from a BCS bowl, and they'll be ranked in the #8-11 range tomorrow. I really don't know how to feel....

Brendan was, at one point this evening, watching USC-ASU on ESPN360 in one browser window, UConn-Cincinnati in another browser window, and the ObamaCare vote on C-SPAN on my TV.

LOL @TerrillMusic Only two people have been beaten by Navy twice on their own turf...Charlie Weis and Saddam Hussein

Blue-Gray Sky on Charlie Weis: "That's all Folks!" - http://bluegraysky.blogspot.com/2009_11...

Pac-10 "is unquestionably the nation's toughest, deepest conference this season (no offense, SEC apologists)." -@slmandel http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009...

Ouch! @slmandel: "Notre Dame...prides itself on tradition. Under Charlie Weis, the Irish have developed a new one: Losing at home to Navy." http://bit.ly/2G2x2g

All things considered, 4-1 is a pretty damn good record in the 5-game stretch USC just finished (@ Cal, @ ND, vs. OregonSt, @ Oregon, @ ASU)

@brando_minich Corrected in new tweet :)

@uscpsycho Agreed. Worst USC team since 2001? Yet we survived, and are 3 home wins from BCS. Not sure how to feel.

Trojans survive, 14-9. But this is not an elite team right now. Yet they're 3 home wins away from BCS at-large bid. BEAT THE DRUNKEN TREES!

Predicted AP poll: 1.Florida 2.Texas 3.Bama 4.TCU 5.Cincy 6.Boise 7.GaTech 8.Pitt 9.Oregon 10.USC 11.tOSU 12.Houston 13.Miami 14.LSU 15.Iowa

If #12 USC pulls this out, they'll be ranked in the Top 10 next week. (AP #7, #8, #9, #11 all lost.) Yet they're clearly not worthy of that.

House Dems count down time ("10... 9... 8...") as vote ends, ObamaCare passes, 220-215. Dems 219-39 for, GOP 176-1 against. Bipartisan! :)

RT @markknoller Cheers erupt on House floor as votes in favor of health care bill hit 218 - number required for passage.

@USCFootballNews Whatever. Even if that's the rule, it shouldn't be enforced here. Sort of like the Bush Push. Great heads-up play by ASU.

USC 7, Arizona State 3 at halftime. Trojan offense is M.I.A. What is this, an SEC game?

Brendan wonders if, at this point, he should hope for 8-4 or 7-5 so it'll be easier to fire Charlie.

@David_Ari If exact same sequence of events happened in the SEC, it'd be "proof" of toughest conference. In Pac-10, it's called a choke.

@libertypapers You're probably right. And maybe that's good -- easier to fire Charlie.

@rawmeet Yes. Most attractive at-large candidate still standing. http://www.brendanloy.com/lrt...

If Texas loses a game, #2 BCS spot is between Cincinnati, TCU, Boise, GaTech, Florida-Alabama loser (rematch), one-loss Texas. I don't think Pitt, Iowa, or anyone else has a chance unless Florida or Alabama loses before SEC title game. Voters will set up SEC rematch before they vault one-loss BE or B10 champ into title game.
