So...on another forum I frequent, after the USC win, there was a thread:

Title: USC wins again

Post: Best college football program ever?

My first instinct (and reply) was that USC 00s is actually worse than Nebraska 90s. This led me to do the following breakdown:

Nebraska (Undefeated Seasons: 3, National Champs: 3)

90: 9-3

91: 9-2

92; 9-3

93: 11-1

94: 13-0

95: 12-0

96: 11-2

97: 13-0

98: 9-3

99: 12-1

Avg: 10.67 - 1.56 (only 90-98 seasons)

USC (Undefeated Seasons: 1, National Champs: 2)

00: 5-6

01: 6-6

02: 11-2

03: 12-1

04: 13-0

05: 12-1

06: 11-2

07: 11-2

08: 11-1

Avg: 10.22 - 2.33

And, of course their best 5 year stretch is 59-6, 1 undefeated season and 2 NCs. Ours is 60-3, 3 undefeated seasons and 3 NCs. Interestingly enough, for the total 10 year period Nebraska was 108 - 15, USC after 9 seasons is 92 - 21. There is no way that USC in 00s can reach the win total or the winning percentage that Nebraska had in the 90s.

Is this a sign that I dwell too much on the past?

98 NU wasn't 9-3, it was Solich's first year and they lost 5 games! 00 USC was not Carroll, why would you count the coach that was fired?

Heh. It actually was 9-4. If you count the bowl game loss. And of course he would count the coach that was fired because he is comparing two programs over the course of a decade (albeit different decades).

4 games which was the most since the 1960s. That was a hint of things to come. You intentionally didn't put in the bowl game loss, because you have the bowl games in the other seasons!

Solich had the same regular season record his first year as TO did. Solich played for a NC in his 4th year. It took TO what 8-10 years? Depending on how you regard ties back in the day, TO really never had a stellar first 8 years as HC. In his first 6 years coaching, he lost at least 2 games and the majority of the time lost 3 games per season. Yep, it sure was a hint of things to come.

I love when people post and get the facts wrong. Osborne was 9-2-1 his first year - Solich won off Osbornes recruits until 2001 when they lost to miami in the rose bowl. solich's 1st year with his own guys he was 7-7. There's not a f**king person in this world that can convince me solich was a good coach.

2003 was Solich's final year. All the players were his recruits. How many of them are now starters in the NFL? Several. Just look at how much talent he left Cozworthless to completely f**k up that are now starting in the NFL. Solich has been named the conference he has or does coach in 40% of the time. Yep, the man must be a horrible coach. His peers just elect him coach of the year within the conference because they feel sorry for him.
