In a poll on the Sports Illustrated home page Texas is being picked 41% to win in a "thriller." USC is being given 33% of the vote to win in a "thriller." USC has more votes if you throw in the 19% "USC in a blowout" votes to the 7% "Texas in a blowout," but I thought it was interesting. The media has been declaring USC the annointed ones, but over the last couple of days more and more people have been leaning towards a Texas win.

We must use the power of the Thresh Sports Forums to ensure a Texas win! I'm hoping for Texas to crush USC, but I think a close game is much more likely.
