BCS, BCS, and BS were the final thoughts going through the minds of the Pac-10 conference after they finished the bowl season undefeated, but were unsuccessful in sending their top team USC to the BCS Championship title game.

The horrible ending in the BCS for USC this year has prompted the Pac-10 to reschedule USC vs Arizona game next year to Dec. 5.  The date changes means both teams will play on the same day as the SEC and Big 12 championships.

This game should benefit the Pac-10 since the conference will get national exposer from ESPN, and other Media outlets on the same day. Stupid and crazy as it may sound, this can help push a Pac-10 team into the BCS Championship.

What do you think of change? Is this a good move on the Pac-10 behalf?

Utah’s quest for a national championship relies on the human hands of the AP voters. By being the only undefeated D-1 football team; Utah has a white, blank space on their loss section unlike all the other 118 college football teams.

Tonight, a win from Oklahoma or Florida will crown a new “National Champion," but with one-huge-detail-missing: placing the W next to the tainted number 1, as in one-loss team.

Utah should be playing for the National Championship. Many critics, and fans have questioned their MWC schedule, but SEC’s team plays two or three non-conference cupcakes games a year, and USC’s played two JV Washington’s teams this year.

One can also question if a Utah’s team could handle a team like USC, Florida or Oklahoma on the play field?  One has to look no further to two years ago when Boise St defeated Oklahoma as a statement game for non-BCS teams.

Boise St was not given a chance, but with a precise, well-achieved game plan did the unthinkable, and beat an Oklahoma team that many expected to trash the Broncos.

Utah’s victory against Oregon St should be a game that the country should taken more notice with wide-open eyes, and not concave glasses. The same Oregon St squad beat USC which consequently, left them out of the National Championship game.

It should be no different for Utah in their quest. Their resume is impressive with victories over Michigan, Oregon St, BYU, and TCU. Everything that Utah could have done with their human hands was done, however, it now, depends on the human hands of the AP voters.

Would one consider USC’s season a failure since they didn’t reach the BCS Championship game?

The loss against Oregon St was unbelievably tough to swallow, and left a reminder to the nation that this year team was beatable, or human after all. However, the Pac-10 didn’t help USC in the Media’s eye by losing important OCC games, and not having a consist number one team. It was not until the last week of the season that the Pac-10 title winner was established.

The Trojans had tough luck, once again, and could do nothing to help their chances in the National picture for the BCS Championship. A one loss Florida team will play a one loss Oklahoma team on Thursday for the BCS Championship. Many have argued that a one loss Florida team shouldn’t have jumped the Trojans since they loss at home to Old Miss while USC played an Oregon St away. One should not argue too much with the details since it’s comparing apples to oranges, or rather crystal to roses.

What one can look back is a season that fellow Trojans should be proud of. We didn’t know what to expect of new quarterback Mark Sanchez. Would he fulfill the legacy left by Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, or the often loved/hated John David Booty? He stepped right into the job, and played great when it counted. He had first year jitters, but finished off the year on a high note with an astonishing performance against Penn St.

Damian Williams demonstrated why he was so converted by the Razorbacks. He established himself as the number one receiver in first year as a Trojan. Rojo and Patrick Turner also played well in countless number of games. Videl Hazelton was lost in the shuffle, and decided to pursue his career elsewhere.

The Running backs were also supportive, and played a pivotal role in USC’s offensive. Their wasn’t a running back who become a standout back, but each had their moment this year. Stafon Johnson, C.J Gable, Joe Mcknight, Broderick Green, and even Marc Tyler got playing time. Sadly, Broderick Green decided to transfer and will be a Razorback next year.

Defensive, defensive, and defensive was the main component that troubled every Trojan’s opponent. Speed, agility, and a NFL caliber mentality created havoc for everyone, and not even the ageless Joe Paterno could stop it. Pete Carroll should be proud of this year unit.

With so many talented athletes at every position one couldn’t believe that Emmanuel Moody to be last Trojan to transfer, and it wasn’t the case. Vidal Hazelton, and Broderick Green both transferred. It wasn’t their time at USC, and they should be well-prepared and conditioned at their future program.??USC might not have the respect from across the country, but we did see USC look-a-like being formed in the North-west and in Tennessee. Two former assistant coaches Steve Sarkisan and Lane Kiffin were hired, and told to build their own Rome. Along the way, both took with them some fellow Trojan’s coaches, and hoping their philosophies, guidance and personalities will make a lasting impression to change their respected program.

As for the future, USC will once again be a driving force for next year. People believe the talent will be down a notch, with the massive graduation, but expect them to be front runners to win the Pac-10, and challenge for a national championship. Yes, they did lose some outstanding players, but this is expected in the Pete Carroll era.
