First Number One Falls! USC Goes Down to Oregon State

 

Published 9/26/2008 by thomas moreland at Bleacher Report - College Football

Congratulations to Oregon State for knocking off USC 27-21 in a big, big upset. Oregon State led 21-0 at the half. Let's stop trying to speculate about who is going to play for the national title.  There will be more upsets, and it's ridiculous to say one team or the other is going to be number one and number two until all the dust settles! Any top-ranked team can be beaten on any given day. There are plenty of coaches and players that can motivate themselves into winning a game when it means something. Let's give credit to programs that go undefeated all year no matter who they are playing! It's tough to run the table for a whole season against a slew of good athletes and good, well-run programs! And no, USC will not make it to the title game! (link)
