USC had more quality wins
Many college football fans think No. 1 USC had a relatively easy path to the Rose Bowl. They say the Pac 10 is a weak conference. Some fans think No. 2 Texas should be slotted above USC, in part because the Longhorns went on the road to beat Ohio State.
However, upon further examination, USC's schedule looks more impressive than many thought. The Trojans have beaten four teams that are currently ranked. As a road team, they blew away Oregon and narrowly beat Notre Dame. At home, they had a tough time with Fresno State, then toyed with UCLA.
Besides Ohio State, Texas only defeated one team currently in the Top 25 (Texas Tech).
