i may not like the east coast bias in sports awards voting, but sometimes it's the truth. during Around the Horn, Woody Paige, originally from the Boston Globe (i believe) and now co-anchoring Cold Pizza on ESPN(2?), was bagging on USC saying that they've only played two top 25 teams--Cal and Arizona St.--whereas Auburn has played three top-25 teams--Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee.

we should also look at the preseason rankings...

the only ranked opponnent for USC was Cal, at 15th. and they're in the Pac-10 and they beat them last year so it was kinda like an obligation to play them.

Auburn though, LSU was ranked 3rd, Tennessee was ranked 14th, and georgia was ranked 4th. this just proves that auburn was out to prove they were good. unlike USC who took the cakewalk schedule.

so... yeah. i really dislike USC. i can't help it.
