Who is satisfied with the explanations for the loss?

Q: I think Oklahoma is in the BCS title game, and there is still one spot left. Every SEC team will have one loss. Oregon, Stanford, California and Arizona State are all good teams taht USC faces. So is it possible for USC to win the remaing games with large margins with the embarrassing Oregon State loss and play in the BCS championship game?

A: It is very possible. But USC has to get its act together and so far I’ve been a little disappointed in the explanations (or lack of) for the Oregon State performance. It’s being treated as a one-off. That remains to be seen but there must be a better explanation.
