South vs. USC

Nine USC players and a few former coaches are at the Senior Bowl in Alabama this week, and the Cardinal and Gold is hard to miss. The Mobile Press-Register has an amusing article this morning for Trojan fans.

According to a forum post on WeAreSC.com, the Press-Register also conducted an interesting poll.

More than half of the players voted USC's Pete Carroll (more than twice as many as any other coach) as the head coach they'd like to have played for, other than their own.

Arkansas junior tailback Darren McFadden received twice as many votes as Florida sophomore quarterback Tim Tebow for the Heisman Trophy.

Nearly 60% of the players voted for a bowl system over a playoff system.

We're still trying to find the original article link, but this sounds consistent with a survey conducted by Sports Illustrated before the 2007 season.
