Re: USC/Texas opinions
The question is should USC be better than a touchdown favorite, and I think anyone saying they should be more just isn't being realistic. These two teams hang 50 points on most of the top 25 teams in the country. They each had a tough game against a rival, and Texas had a tough game against a legit top 10 team that likely should have won the Big 10 this year, they didn't but that doesn't degrade their team.
Texas has great special teams
USC has great Special teams
Texas has a great D
USC has a very good D
Texas has a very good offense
USC has a great offense
So what should win out? Give USC an edge for winning it last year, playing in their own back yard and having stronger coaching. Is that more than 2 scores though? possibly but I'm not excited about the line.
