I understood it just fine. Still waiting for you to tell me what winning streaks have to do with great teams.
Ok, try to read it again, you still haven't gotten it. EVERY reference I have read or heard, has referenced USCs collective effort over the last few years making them potentially the greatest team ever. This is the same basic corp group that won the last two years. Most football "experts" also say that last years team was better than this year.
Originally posted by dnewma04: If Texas wins it again next year, they will very likely be talked about being the greatest team ever the following year. If USC hadnt won it last year, and rolled through the schedule this year, you don't honestly thing that people would be calling them the greatest team ever, do you?
They will be? Even with Vince Young gone? Doesn't make much sense to me. If anything, they should talk about a team being the greatest team ever in the year that they are possibly the greatest team ever, which is what they should have done for USC last year, not this year.
You see, I understand exactly where you are going with this. You are taking it season by season, I am trying to explain that people are taking USCs recent success as one of the greatest teams (collectively) that we have seen. Their record proves this.

And they didn't exactly roll through the schedule. They needed a last-second illegal play to beat an overrated Notre Dame team.
The fact that all this is coming from someone who thinks Tom Brady is one of the greatest QBs of all time makes it even more entertaining.
The fact that all this is coming from someone who thinks that Tom Brady isn't one of the greatest QBs of all time makes it equally entertaining from my POV. Your all important stats speak for themselves. Especially the three rings. General consensus says he is a great QB. General consensus also says if his career ended tomorrow, he is a hall of famer. He's not the best of all time yet, but until Manning wins a championship, he is the best QB currently playing. Not your beloved Farve who led the Packers to exactly one championship with a roster equally as loaded as the Patriots who had to rely on Desmond Howard to win the game for them.
