USC Football is Off Sanctions and Rated #1 in the Nation

When I heard the USC band start playing the fight song after Matt Barkley decided to stay in school, I knew USC would be an instant favorite to win the National Title. On paper they SHOULD run the table (especially since Silas Redd is in school now) and get there relatively unscathed. Of course injuries can change that though.

For now they are back, off sanctions, and ready to win it all:
