If you have to ask, the answer is no.

Of course not...because USC is not playing for NC berth we are loathed to engage in the rivalry bs. Scott - you need to rethink your AP voting. USC's defense will likely be the best scoring defense since 1988. Stop trying to drive views to your blogs and show some ethics.

I think there's potential for a more intense rivalry this weekend. The fact that SC has no shot at the National Title just means that there's nothing else to look forward to except wiping our behinds with bear carcass. Look for Rey, Brian, and Taylor to exact a little revenge for the last time they played the Ruins in Pasadena.
If the Stormin' Mormons beat 'em 59 to nil (that was for you Scott), how much will we beat them by?
Fight on!
PS. What if Pete Carroll was shrunken down into a tiny version of himself? Who you got? Da Bruins, or tiny Carroll? I got tiny Carroll, 69-0. Dah, Trojans. (an ode to SNL)

UCLA's 4-7 record takes a lot of the buzz out of the game (and also removes any chance to impress the pollsters or the damn computers). It's not quite the same as when Peete and Aikman dueled in a clash of top five teams.
However, there are interesting angles to the game -
1. Chow v. Carroll
2. Neuheisel's first game as head coach against USC
3. Walker v. Sarkisian (Was Walker even considered for the Wash. job?)
4. Revenge for two years ago
Besides, if USC doesn't show up tomorrow, like the first halves of Oregon St and Stanford, USC will be in for a closer game than we all think.
