i will agree that LSU would have almost no chance against USC but comparing scores is arbitrary b/c of playing styles.

LSU's defense is stout but there offense struggles to move the chains, so they obviously are always going to play close games no matter the opponent whereas USC, a team that is explosive has the potential to blowout any team any day.

the other side of that coin is that if USC were to play LSU, LSU would contain USC for a little while but in the end USC would overmatch them but it wouldn't be a blowout.

comparing scores is part of the reason i hate the BCS. scores against teams have nothing to do with teams that haven't played each other and there has been proof of that in the past.
