It's in the Bag

I hear the Texas football team arrives in Los Angeles today. They will enjoy a week of festivities leading up to the Rose Bowl game against USC on January 4. Texas definitely deserves to be rewarded for winning the Big 12 championship and finishing the season undefeated and ranked #2, so I hope the Longhorns’ southern California vacation is not ruined by delusional hopes of actually winning the game. The outcome of the Rose Bowl, you see, is preordained. As proof, I offer:

  • USC has never lost a bowl game when ranked No. 1.
  • USC has never lost to Texas in 4 meetings. The teams’ most recent encounter was nearly 40 years ago in the Trojans’ 1967 national championship campaign.
  • USC has never lost in a bowl game against a Big 12 opponent.
  • USC has never lost a BCS game, having currently won three in a row.

A year of Trojan firsts, indeed: USC will become the first school to win three consecutive AP national championships!
