The Las Vegas Hilton has USC and LSU at 9/5 and 5/1 respectively to win the 2008 BCS Championship Jan. 8 in New Orleans. The Trojans are just 2-0 while the Tigers, Sooners and Gators are 3-0. "USC still has to be the favorite to win the title," said Boyd, who trails only George Smeader in the PHL's overall standings. "They have offensive balance and, in my opinion, the premier defense in the country. "LSU is my No. 2. "They embarrassed Virginia Tech (48-7) and if they embarrass South Carolina this week, they'll be making even more believers out of people. "Oklahoma is right on USC's toes, but they haven't played the same caliber of non-conference opponents. "Miami is not the usual Miami, so I don't give as much weight to that (51-13) blowout." Johnson lives in Omaha and was in Lincoln last weekend for Southern Cal's 49-31 triumph over then No. 14 Nebraska. "USC is very, very good," Johnson said.

Notre Dame will easily go under .500 whereas Michigan, at least on paper, could play spoiler and contend for the Big 10 title given that the Big 10 is weak this year. My favorite team is Cal (Univ. of California Berkeley) but I also love watching Clemson (Spiller and Davis are amazing) and just about any SEC game.<br><b>References : </b><br> Michigan has more naturally gifted athletes but couldn’t put it together for the first two games against a fast spread offense.
