They appealed them (which schools are allowed to do) so it rolled back (plus they might have found one more loophole, I forget)

Their three years of scholarship reductions don't start until after this season

I will say this: since '05, every USC team that's been a title contender has had at least one nonsensical loss to knock themselves out of the title game. If I had to take a stab at that game this year, they play at Utah on a Thursday night in early October, which screams "trap game".

Or just Oregon could beat them?



But Utah's too early in the schedule for that (and maybe giving them waaaaay too much here)

Seems more like Colorado or Arizona would more be in that appropriate area in the schedule (along with Arizona state and, well, Oregon)


Also, the Thurs night Utah game comes after a bye week, so I'm not sure the Thurs part screams trap as much

10-4. It took the worthless AA about 5 years to finally make the sanctions and 3 years to appeal scolarship reductions? SC committed the Vioations 8 years ago and they have been held from bowl games for 2 years. The AA blows! SC Is a QB injury away from a bad season(like us).

The appeal (& possibly a loophole, again cant recall...but i think they did something that rolled it back one year and then they appealed it) only rolled the scholarship penalties back 2 seasons (the NCAA came down before the 2010 season) but yeah more or less I guess


(they can't push it back any further though)

I hope that somehow UT and USC meet up in a bowl game so that UT can knock the piss out of them.

Would have to be either the NC game or an at large BCS game; no other available bowl contract tie-ins

And the at-large option would require USC to be BCS level good, but just miss out on winning the conference - and have that winner not play in the NC - so that they don't end up in the Rose Bowl (and realistically, likely not go to their conference championship game...which I don't know who in that division would be better)

UT could either win the SEC championship or be an at large in that case, though likely the latter might be more beneficial

Yeah, that's going to happen, us being BCS contenders and all.

Wouldn't that imply the sayer would have to be there too?

Edit: wait, no. Don't want to derail this thread into an overly religious conversation.

As much as it pains me to say, they would take us to the woodshed this year.
