I have nothing against USC and think Mich will beat Ohio St but:
Ohio St has played tougher teams which is no fault of USC but still. Margin of victory was thrown out the window for teams that purposely ran up the score on bad teams. Nothing like getting two cheap td's in the 4th quarter to get a point total up to 63 instead of 49. Purdue isn't a bad team at all, they were 11th at the time.
Hate to say it but if Ohio St beats Michigan, their strength of schedule will jump up much higher than USC playing UCLA and Oregon St. I was surprised to see OSU overtake USC before the Michigan game.
If anything, I would have thought that the big city and big media market bias would show up and put USC at #2 but its still possible for that. Look at TCU getting knocked down to #8 this week after they were in the bcs picture at #6 last week.
