An argument for putting USC into the BCS mix

Terry Bowden, a member of college football’s first family of coaching and now an analyst for Rivals.com, is puzzled by USC’s lack of respect from around the country.

He acknowledges the critics but says it wasn’t the Trojans’ intent to play a weak schedule when they lined up Virginia, Ohio State and Notre Dame as non-conference opponents.

And it’s certainly not their fault that the Pac-10 is so weak.

And Oregon State isn’t so bad...

Bowden, however, seems to be in the minority when it comes to the Trojans in the BCS.
