LSU are right were they should be behind THE BEST TEAM #1 USC.

Back it up. Outline the basis for USC being the better team. Show me the objective measures which point to USC being better than LSU.

Last year's record? Nope.
Defending champions? Nope.
---------------------------
This year's record? Nope.
Strength of schedule? Nope.
Margin of victory? Nope.
Total offense? Nope.
Scoring offense? Nope.
Total defense? Nope.
Scoring defense? Nope.

LSU owns the statistical advantage in every category. By a lot.

So what do you have to back up your claim? Pete Carroll's winning smile?
