Saddly, this is typical Pac-10 performance. USC is a power house not only on the field but also when recruiting new players. They often have first pick at the new talent coming out of high school. Second to this is Oregon with the amount of money Nike dumps into their program and their ugly uniforms.
Much credit to them (USC) for building the right kind of program.
(This coming from a University of Washington season ticket holder, yes, I like the pain of going to EVERY GAME).
