Well, you can make an argument that technically USC did.I'm still not 100% sure why LSU passed USC in the polls. Both teams played like crap on the road but won. If you want to bring up the point differential in the games forget it. Tulane isn't nearly as good as Washington. Tulane plays in Conference USA and is 1-3. Washington is in the Pac-10 and is 2-2. This isn't even debatable, Washington is clearly the tougher opponent. Yet LSU jumps USC. It's not really that important, since as long as both teams win out, they'll face each other in the national championship. But this is why we need a playoff system. Because there are years when something like this is a huge deal, and the rationale behind the change in votes is basically nonsensical.

USC did win more than one. Cute sign, otherwise.
