USC is the team of the Decade

The University of Southern California is without question the greatest college football program of the decade, and below are some reasons why

-National Championships
2 National Championships for USC this decade, and once they lost in the national championship game.

-Rose Bowl Wins
Three of them. Twice they beat Michigan by exactly 14 points, and last year they CRUSHED Illinois by 32.

-Orange Bowl Wins
Twice. In 2002 they beat Iowa by 21. In 2004 they demolished Oklahoma to the tune of a
55-19 victory.

-Overall Record
81-21 overall record since the year 2000 (would look more impressive if you exclude 2000 and 2001 actually, but were discussing the entire decade)

-Awards
Three Heisman Trophy award recipients (although most will argue that the award in 2004 belonged to Adrian Peterson, and I personally will argue that the 2002 award belonged to Ken Dorsey). Twice a USC player has won the Walter Camp award (basically the same thing as the Heisman, but less prestigious). Matt Lienart won the Manning award (best QB) in 2004. Both Lienart and Carson Palmer have won the Golden Arm Award (best senior quarterback). Reggie Bush was awarded with the Doak Walker Award (nation's best running back) in 2005 and Fred Davis won the John Mackey Award in 2007 (best Tight End, that sounds hilariously homo erotic). Also, if you want to count these, Pete Carroll and Norm Chow both have won awards for coaches and coordinator of the year (Carroll won coach, Norm Chow won coordinator.)


-11 wins and 3 losses against AP top 10 opponents

-NFL/Great College Players
let's make a list shall we?

QB- Carson Palmer, Matt Lienart, John David Booty.
RB- Reggie Bush, Lendale White, Justin Fargas.
WR- Mike Williams, Dwayne Jarrett, Keary Colbert, Steve Smith (The one playing for the Giants).

Is there really ANY competition or doubt as to who is the team of the decade in college football?
