Kiffin Not Happy With Top 25

Lane Kiffin was miffed the 10th-ranked Trojans were one spot behind Oregon in today’s AP poll.
“I would think we would be ahead of a team we beat 24 hours ago,” Kiffin said.

  1. Except that one of their two losses came from the top ranked team in the country and ours came from ASU. How does Oregon feel about being four spots down from a team they beat just a week ago? Better when Carroll claimed he didn’t pay attention to such things.

  2. Hey fartman

    How about letting one of your brown farts off in a plastic bag then inhale it through your nose…idiot

    and don’t forget to share some with bucket

  3. Which raises the question: were there so many “Fart” ID’s already in use that Fartman had to use “Fart 0330”?

    Well, at least he fits right in with our other Trojan laureates: NOBS, MONO and Lawyer John.

  4. Fart 0330 is either a kid (who is a bruin “fan”) or just a sad bruin fan trying to take attention off of the bRuins getting ready to have their asses handed to them! Fart fart fart.

    Fight on!

  5. Uh ok, this blog is taking a very odd twist and attracting some interesting characters.

    Can anyone suggest to me a good website to look at regarding USC recruiting?

  6. dcard…for SUCks recruiting you might want to check out juvenile hall.com or perhaps cya.com (california youth authority)…both loaded w/ prospective SUCks types. Happy hunting.

  7. Dcard,

    Google USC 247. I think they’re offering free VIP access for the rest of the year. Great site.

  8. ThaiMex,

    I know who you are.

    What I don’t know is why you would be posting on a USC blog in the wee small hours of the morning.

  9. Hahahahaha ThaiMux had nothing more?! That’s it?! This coward is scared for Saturday. SC is back and poor TacoMax is nervous. LOL

  10. Owns, shove it up your @$$. You’re a wannabe insider that know zip. Keep it up old FART. You’re probable SlobDusky’s twin brother.

  11. AH! AH! AH!

    Zee Fartink Man has now pitted Trojan fersus Trojan!

    Vhile zey beat each ozer up, Fartink Man emerges as zee vinner! Maybe Fartink Man is zee Vulfman!

    AH! AH! AH!

  12. Damn SlopeSpic posted at 3AM? That is dedication to hate! Fite Fite Fite U C Reellll LA!!!

  13. Mono – that’s what time slopespic and his mom finish selling the bacon dogs. This is LA. There’s some sort of event every night.

  14. Must be rivalry week, the bruins are out in force. Once the game is played they will dissapear for a couple of months til the bowl games are all played. The bruins will then begin thier annual “champions of the offseason” campaign and reappear til the games start again. It is as predictable as the change in seasons.

  15. Trojans celebrating another big victory. bruins celebrating flatulence. Sounds about right.

  16. Crybaby Lame Kiffin.
    You lost to ASU by 3 TDs, that’s why, dumbass.
    And in 5 days, you won’t be ranked anymore anyways.
    UCLA 27, USC 20
    (It will be just like The USA Today Top 25 poll … no U$C)

  17. I agree with Lane Kiffin and would rank USC at #7 ahead of Houston, Oregon and VaTech; however, there would be flaws with my rankings since Oregon should then be ahead of Stanford. Still, what perplexes me the most is the media’s recent love affair with VaTech. They lost badly to a Clemson team, and their only significant win was over a reeling Georgia Tech team. And they barely beat UNC and Duke in two of the past three weeks by an aggregate 7 points.

    Part of the problem with polls seems to be that it is uncertain as to what they are actually supposed to indicate. Are they a ranking of a teams year-to-date performance, a ranking of best teams based on most recent performance or a hybrid of the two in which year-to-date performance is considered but with a greater weighting toward more recent games. I suspect most voters either conciously or subconciously use the latter approach. But does the AP, Harris and Coaches poll define what criteria pollsters should consider when ranking teams.

    Transitive logic does not work in college football and the Pac-12 is a good example of this. Oregon beat Stanford; Stanford beat USC; USC beat Oregon. So, which is the better team? And should USC be penalized for ASU’s complete meltdown? You can’t ignore USC’s loss when determining its ranking, but the team to which USC lost was far better than the current ASU team. Likewise, did USC win over Oregon somehow lessen the significance of LSU’s win over Oregon in week 1. Also, scheduling differentials matter, and this is probably the most difficult to quantify. Is a 5 point win over a mediocre, unranked team better or worse than a 30 point win over an FCS school. This plays into the Boise State and Houston conundrum. They are widely perceived to play very weak schedules against opponents that also don’t play AQ-conference opponents. So, how does anyone know if Boise State and Houston are better or worse than other top 25 teams?

    Rankings are extremely subjective, and I think the pollsters typically do a good job, although there are always a few outliers. Fortunately, most of this only impacts bragging rights, but it does influence bowl selections which then has a monetary impact.

  18. VB’s Office Plant:

    That’s exactly right. These UCLA fans are like whack-a-mole.

    Step 1: They pop up and talk a lot of trash
    Step 2: SC pounds UCLA
    Step 3: UCLA fans go back in their holes
    Step 4: UCLA fans pop up again a few days later to proclaim themselves offseason national champions
    Step 5: Repeat

  19. Thai: didn’t you get the memo??? to post on this penny-ante blog, you must be in the Pacific Time Zone, and also you cannot stay up late!! or get up early!! or travel to the East coast or HI!!!

    i think a possible explanation for all the panic when someone posts at an early or late time is that a majority of Southern Cal grads live off their parents. this bizarre existence usually entails them living close to daddy and mom. so they rarely if ever move away from SoCA nor do they travel much!! they also keep their bedtimes as when they lived home (if they still don’t). kind of pathetic. i recall i was in the SouthWest on candy business this past Summer and the Nabobs pert’near wet themselves because i made an early post!! i didn’t even bother to explain…so lame!!! get to bed little trOXies!!! mommy will be mad!!!

  20. Jexro Sabbax: and by the way, Jexro, this “big bombshell” of your better not be the same old recycled, wild stabs in dark that you call “forensic analysis”!!!

    Geez Louise!! i even had several trOXans email me at the Candy Factory to tell me about Jexro’s “big bombshell”!!! it better be good, Jexro, or what little reputation you have left as a Hardy Boy wannabe may disappear.

  21. C-buck, I don’t understand, you don’t like trojans because they still live in so. cal. and are supposed to move to some eastern area to be what you consider adult?
    come on man, you got better stuff than that, and I didn’t even find your great humor, whats up, you losing it?

  22. Bucket,

    I’d tell you to relax but this is business as usual. I’ve always been able to make you scramble and that is sure happening now.
    I announce that I know who you are and you up the anger factor considerably from Thai and I believe your spelling my name with “x”s is also meant to be an insult.
    By the way, I never called this “forensic analysis”, That was you. I thought you remembered everything on here.
    I’ve also never called you names so who is “keeping it classy” now?

    So, the big reveal….

    Not quite yet.
    You have claimed to be a public figure and I guess you are, barely.
    You have also claimed that you will never admit to your true identity so let me say now that the denials will come fast and hard from all of your “characters”
    You lie and cheat on a daily basis and once falsely admitted to being one character that I previously thought you were responsible for. Deceptive then, but eventually helpful in solving the case. Likely that was the only handle that I mistakenly thought was you.

    Can I prove who you are with actual evidence? Of course not but make no mistake that I have cracked the case.
    I will give you one chance to retire all of your handles here, leave in anonymity and let everyone here comment on USC matters and not have to deal with your childish provocations.

    What do you say Chuck?

    BTW, How are you doing selling those football picks on that other site?
