As I finished by viewing of the Notre Dame trouncing of the USC Trojans on Saturday night, it was telling that USC was not a world beating football team.\u00a0 Lincoln Riley and his boys from Los Angeles got their asses handed to them by the Fighting Irish.\u00a0 The Trojans were not beaten by their lack of defense, as expect, but rather a subpar performance<\/span> by the offense, led by Heisman winner Caleb Williams.\u00a0 Not that the USC defense played a nice game, it did not.\u00a0 But the offense was, in fact, crap.\u00a0 Before you think that I do not like quarterback Williams, that is far from the truth.\u00a0 I will never rat out this wonderful player as he was the trigger for the Oklahoma Sooners to beat their arch-rival, Texas, two years ago in the Red River Shootout.\u00a0 And that he played in the OU bowl game after Riley had made his move to LA and helped stand-in former head coach in OU’s win was key.\u00a0 Sure, he went with Riley to play on the west coast, but a player has to do with he has to do.\u00a0 Coaches, unlike Williams the player, make adult decisions and show adult tendencies. Riley is in my book, is not a good human being, and not a man you can trust with the truth.\u00a0 With that, the national title for USC is not in the future for them this year, no matter what you hear coming out the Riley’s lying mouth.\u00a0 USC is staring down a three or more loss season.\u00a0 That too, I expect to happen.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

My Playoff picture today:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Washington vs Michigan<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Oklahoma vs Florida State<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Other teams that could make it:\u00a0 Texas, Penn State, Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, Washington.\u00a0 I think the four I have selected will all have 13-0 records at the end of the conference championship games.\u00a0 If they lose, Georgia can get in with one loss, but with their best offensive player, the tight end gone for the year, I do not think they will not get beat once, but twice.\u00a0 Alabama would take a spot if they go undefeated and win the SEC title game if the four chosen by me lose a game.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n
