Pat Forde on the USC-Boston College showdown December 26:
According to Phil Steele’s 2009 College Football Preview ratings, Boston College does not have a single player who was in the national top 20 prospects at his position coming out of high school. USC has 50. Yes, 50.
Wow.
Also, two questions: Wouldn’t it be cooler if they called it the Boxing Day Bowl? And, non-Trojan Domers, who are you rooting for between these two hated rivals?

How is USC-ND 2005 not even one of ESPN’s Top 25 games of the decade? That’s a travesty and a farce. http://bit.ly/5DP7PH
TCU’s 2010 non-conf: Baylor, SMU, OreSt & _______. Could still use a signature high-profile opponent (a la Boise’s VaTech game). Any takers?
