I'd love to see USC have to play in the Midwest when it's really cold.

Also, I think it would be funny if Notre Dame was playing someone like Baylor in Dublin instead of Navy.

He won't be full go until early April so he won't be in any condition to work out for scouts/teams. I'd be pretty surprised if he doesn't come back. Floyd has yet to complete a full season and may miss time this year with his hammy. Injury concerns are there for sure.

centralbucksfan;526573 wrote:USC will have more talent? Thats actually a load of crap. THis current USC roster, as the article below points outs, doesn't have a 1st or 2nd team all PAC10 selection. The whole thing about USC having all this talent, as I pointed out before the season to many, was nothing but an enigma. They are not as talented, nor will they be for a LONG while. A few players here and there. But not the depth needed to compete and be a top program. Their fall IMO, is just beginning. To think they will be anything in the next couple of years, is being blind.

On top of that, thinking Michigan will be this or that is nothing but a stretch as well. BYU sucks, Purdue sucks, Navy is Navy, Pitt has Wanny, MSU is inconsistant year to year as well.
IMO, the ONLY team you can look at and probably say for sure they will be very good, is Oklahoma and maybe Stanford if Harbaugh is still there.
Sorry, that schedule is not nearly as impressive as it "looks".
