Yep, I would like nothing better to put even a #2 or #3 SEC team on the field with USC -- but only the week after they play Cal.

That's the problem. USC has to "get up" for 2 season games and one bowl game.

Ask the Big Ten guys or SEC guys how many they have to "get up" for. It is not USC's problem is the whole system. We need a playoff system that includes the current bowls. IMO, that would be a huge money maker for the schools and it would showcase the small schools that do not get on national TV often, but occasionaly have a great team.

Example, last year Hawaii was undefeated and beat a weak Pac 10 team. They should not have been in the Sugar Bowl vs. GA. The game was over in the 1st Q and HI never showed even a glimpse of being able to stay on the field with the #3 SEC team.

If we had a playoff system, they could have beaten up a middle of road team and had a little experience going into the playoffs after the bowls.

I'd like to see four teams slug it our after the bowls. Don't you think USC would have liked to have a chance to beat LSU last year. I think USC would have also beaten Ohio State and it would have been a much better game.

Ok, that's my tirad on NCAA D1 football.
