Is the USC-Oklahoma game really a coin toss?

[RydenStoompala]

I see the line at 110, USC 1.5 points. This is for real? Anyone think it's wrong?

[CCx]

I don't think it's an error at all - the line opened up at -3, and has been bet down to almost a pick...the teams are evenly matched, I took Oklahoma at 3 a week and a half ago and I think they'll win the game outright...

[MicroBob]

I took Okla at +1.5.
Wished I had gotten in at +3 but I'm still comfortable with the bet.

I think Okla's defense makes the difference. Okla has the better team imo although it's close.

I just think USC and the PAC-10 are overrated (as I've stated in previous threads).

The less than stellare performances of USC and UCLA in the bowl-games strengthened this belief.
ASU looked good against Purdue and Oregon State looked good against Notre Dame but I'm creatively ignoring those games for purposed of this pick.

The Trojans team speed is going to leave Oklahoma standing in their dust. Look for Reggie Bush to have a monster game and the Trojans to cover fairly easily.--Big Al--

Most people do underestimate the Pac 10 as they don't see or hear about the games. Pac 10 games are rarely broadcast on national TV and ESPN relegates the highlights until after the east coast schools.

That being said, I see alot of Pac 10 games being on the west coast. USC is not overrated and I think they will easily cover against Oklahoma. Just because Cal struggled in their bowl game (which they played half-heartedly) does not mean USC is overrated.

Adrian Peterson and the OU O-Line are why OU will win this. Power runners don't come out of the gates rusty after a 1 month layoff, precision pass offenses competing against the best defense they've seen all year do. I put my cash on OU when the line was 3.
