Pac-10 “is unquestionably the nation’s toughest, deepest conference this season (no offense, SEC apologists).” -@slmandel http://bit.ly/2G1QfU

Ouch! @slmandel: “Notre Dame…prides itself on tradition. Under Charlie Weis, the Irish have developed a new one: Losing at home to Navy.” http://bit.ly/2G2x2g

All things considered, 4-1 is a pretty damn good record in the 5-game stretch USC just finished (@ Cal, @ ND, vs. OregonSt, @ Oregon, @ ASU)

Trojans survive, 14-9. But this is not an elite team right now. Yet they’re 3 home wins away from BCS at-large bid. BEAT THE DRUNKEN TREES!

Predicted AP poll: 1.Florida 2.Texas 3.Bama 4.TCU 5.Cincy 6.Boise 7.GaTech 8.Pitt 9.Oregon 10.USC 11.tOSU 12.Houston 13.Miami 14.LSU 15.Iowa

If #12 USC pulls this out, they’ll be ranked in the Top 10 next week. (AP #7, #8, #9, #11 all lost.) Yet they’re clearly not worthy of that.

House Dems count down time (“10… 9… 8…”) as vote ends, ObamaCare passes, 220-215. Dems 219-39 for, GOP 176-1 against. Bipartisan! 🙂

RT @markknoller Cheers erupt on House floor as votes in favor of health care bill hit 218 – number required for passage.

USC 7, Arizona State 3 at halftime. Trojan offense is M.I.A. What is this, an SEC game?
