Better offensive and defensive lines will control the game. The defense will stiffle USC and Peterson will show why he is one of the best freshmen ever. Also think Clayton will make big plays. This senior laden team is on a mission.
Oklahoma beats USC

That is where the anti Pac 10 bias was talking. OU had more experienced OL but not talented OL. USC had the much better DL. After the game we learn USC dominated on both lines.
PETERSON IS OVER-RATED! Did he even break 1 freaking tackle all night long? GEESH! I hate overhyped players. Peterson can run all day against Big 12 defenses but he couldn't run around the USC defense. NO, he is NOT one of the best freshman ever. USC hurt Peterson's stock big time!
He couldn't make big plays against underclassman at USC!
Next year USC will be the senior/junior laden team on a mission! SCARY! Bunch of underclassmen beat this experienced Stoops team.
Hope you learned your lesson to never doubt USC! Once again we learn USC has had more trouble beating PAC 10 teams vs their BCS bowl opponents. TY was fired mostly due to getting blown out by USC. Stoops got blown out worse than TY! TY didn't have half the talent Stoops has!

Scott, do you have to go back and flaunt that your team won now? Your boys are the best team in the land, and you cashed in bigtime with that future bet, isn't that enough?
I realize these guys gave you a hard time but I think your point was proven in a big way on Tuesday night.

My point has been proven in a big way the last 3 years! People just never learn. When I lost big on Michigan over OSU I posted I was wrong and I prob. never will bet Michigan big again over Tressel.
If people choose to give me a hard time, why can't I do the same? Especially after I was proven correct for 3 striaght years!
If USC is fortunate enough to play in the Rose Bowl next year, my money is we all will here the same stuff again until eventually they are right once!
I am just having fun with it because I know we will here it all again next year. But thats prob. a good thing so we can make money again next year but this site is about helping and educating people. Right?
Scott4USC said:
in this case, i think the loss of money in oklahoma bettor's accounts serves as more than enough 'help and education'.
gotta agree with blackman. just looks bad when you go through a person's post and highlight each area they were wrong.
usc played about as well as any college team can play on tuesday.
are they 36 points better than oklahoma?
of course not.
would they score 55 points on oklahoma if they played again?
of course not.
but they are clearly better than oklahoma, probably to the tune of 10-14 points in a rematch. southern cal is head and shoulders above anyone in college ball right now.
as for peterson being overrated -- thats absolutely laughable. i had no money on either side and you can just tell that peterson is a special running back.
Yea Peterson is DEFINATLEY NOT OVERRATED...it is every year you see the star recruit coming out live up to his expectations as a TRUE FRESHMAN and get 1800+ yards...lets give OU some credit Scott, they are still a great program, but like many great coaches he cant win in the championship game
It just simple Front-Running thats all. We should be used to by now guys, thats the way he works.
I wish I could get on here and do that with my picks but I always lose!

Peterson couldn't do ANYTHING against USC. NOTHING! Peterson loses his 3 star lineman and QB next year and WR's. Lets see how he does next year. Peterson couldn't break tackles against USC or run around USC. A superstar RB could do that. I never said Peterson wasn't a good or great RB. I think he is a great RB but he is over-rated because people think he is the best RB in the country and put him on SUPER STAR status. He simply isn't.
He got way too much hype in my opinion. He is a great player but not the player people talk him up to be. He had a lot of factors play into his favor this year. SUPER OL, SUPER QB, SUPER WR's, and bad competition. The competition he played against were not great defenses. Early in the season a lot of his yards came in garbage time.
Lets see how he does next year!
I told everyone USC would shut down Peterson and confuse White. People thought Peterson would run for 200 yards on USC because he does that against Big 12 competition. Then again, USC is not physical because they play in the Pac 10. USC had much much tougher time playing in the Pac 10 vs the 3 BCS opponents they played the last 3 years and ALL 3 BCS opponents were considered one of if not the hottest teams in the country (besides USC) at the time.

As for pts, I am not sure how many pts USC would score if they played again. Depends how many possessions. OU could not stop USC on defense. Turnovers played a BIG part in getting USC possessions but USC still drove the ball down the field on them with ease. I say USC scores in the 30's without the OU turnovers. OU scores 10pts or less on the USC "starting" defense.
It was just complete domination from coaching perspective and players.
Same exact things were said about USC against Iowa in OB 2 years ago, Michigan last year, and OU this year. THE SAME EXACT THINGS! So NO, money lost does not "help and educate." But that is what this site is about, right? So why not point it out and LEARN from it. But I guarantee the same exact things will be said again about USC if USC is fortunate enought to make it to a BCS bowl game again. This does not apply to every single person but does apply to a vast majority.
I am sorry, I am just having fun with it. This is 3 straight years I cash on it yet people still want to be anti USC/pac 10. Why not try and help others here cash on it too! That is what this site is about, right? That is why I gave my detailed write-up about why I loved USC big over OU.

sorry scott.
overrated running backs dont rush for 225 yards on a texas run defense that is top 10 in the nation and allows like 3 yards a carry.
lets see how he does next year?
umm, i would think hes probably gonna be a heisman finalist again. not sure if thats any good or not.
no individual player is going to look good in a 55-19 blowout.
take the blinders off.
usc dominated the game. but adrian peterson is a stud.

There's a quote I try to remember in good times: When a man can walk away not saying anything, even though he knows he's right in life, he's arrived spiritually.
I know you better than anyone on this board, let's face it, you have won the huge majority of your $$ on USC over the last 3 years; and the only reason is, is b/c you are a die hard fan and grew up loving the program and born into a family wealthy enough to allow you to attend their fine institution. That's awesome, congrats. But did you ever stop to consider, 'what if I grew up in Norman, or Auburn, or Ann Arbor?' If you had been placed by Fate in another section of the country, your heart would've directed your passion into those excellent programs early on and you wouldve never made the same money. You are a very fortunate soul in that your time-window put you on the USC campus when Pete Carroll rebuilt your precious dynasty and gave you privvy to information. You didn't do it, you CAPAITALIZED on it, which is to your credit. But if you were on the east coast, you would never have won all the money you are fond of flaunting to others. Other people lose because they are midwest or east coast bias (anti-USC and Pac-10). If they switched locales with you, they'd be the ones with fatter bank accounts, and you would probably be scrounging like many on MJs for the +side debit ledger.
You don't have all the answers in sports, no one does. We only have to go as far as Kobe Bryant and Shaq--where you argued a thousand times it was all Kobe and not Shaq that made the Lakers great. I accepted that b/c I knew you were biased living in LA and "too close" to the issues. See, the same thing that won you a ton of $$ on USC blinded you to the truth who the real MVP was all the years on the Lakers. I don't think you can even presume to make that argument now. The proof is in the record.
Enjoy your money, you won't retire on your 20 or 40K that USC might've made you over the last 3 years. It's a nice gambling nestegg, but it won't be there in the future, as you know their value has vanished.
Learning the virtue of humility might truly be your team's greatest favor they could've handed you. Take the lead from your mentor, Coach Carroll, he is a man I respect and classy leader. I saw him smiling after OU took a 7-0 lead, and I said to myself, "Wow, there's a calming influence, what a cool guy!"
Inside you are a good man, like I said, you want to be liked and your opinion heard by many. I am posting this in some small way to help you see the light of human relationships.
I don't presume to have all the answers, but after knowing you for almost 3 years, I felt compelled to share some thoughts. And maybe some of the people on the board might see you in a slightly different light, too.
Build bridges not walls.
Take care
