A Response to USC Homerism: Why the Gators Would Beat the Trojans

And the Gators demolished them.  The lone loss, who at the time looked like a major upset, now looks like a loss to a disrespected Ole Miss team who lit up Texas Tech for 49 points at the end of the season.

4) Urban Meyer > Pete Carroll - Carroll has been sitting in Southern Cal now for 8 years, collecting the best talent around the country and amassing them in Los Angeles.  His record since his start is an impressive 88-15, with one BCS national championship (and one AP consensus No. 1), three Heismans, a 34-game win streak, and number one recruiting classes for more years than I can remember. 

Meyer has occupied his seat in Gainesville since 2004, amassing a 45-9 record, with two BCS national championships in a three year span, one Heisman, and several number one recruiting classes.  While appearing to have similar accomplishments, Meyer has shown a faster ascent to college football greatness, along with a better record in big games with the Gators.  They are both great coaches, but Meyer has the edge.

5) SEC > Pac 10 - I hear a TON about SEC homerism.  But bottom line, looking at the SEC over the last few years, and it is hard to argue with the conferences dominance.  Over the last 4 years, the SEC has controlled the BCS national championship picture.  Unlike the Pac 10, there are 3-5 legitimately good programs occupying the conference, with several dark horses every year. 

The Pac 10 has USC, and a bunch of other teams.  It is no wonder at all that the Rose Bowl is a consolation prize for USC; they have no difficulty getting there every year because their conference schedule is like a warm up to bowl season.  The Pac 10 homerism needs to end; if USC is your flagship, then you need to tend to the rest of the armada and field AT LEAST one other legitimate program.
