SC bias

I've been following SC football since about 1972. Probably my first induction was Anthony Davis running back the second half kickoff during the Notre Dame game of 1974. I remember the Pat Haden, JK Mackay Hey days as well. One thing amazing me these days is the way the football "pundits" be it the "announcers" or talking heads in Sports Center will "misunderesatimate" the final outcome of the game. If SC is losing at any time the general consensus is "oh no what has happend to SC", " they're in danger", "who would of thought!!? I know they want to keep their viewers from leaving the game but come on. At this point it's getting ridiculous. Look at the last 3 games as an example. Here are the final stats of each of the last three games. If you'd been watching the game or listening to the Sports Center guy, you'd thought SC had lost. The only team that can beat SC is SC. PS. These stats are against 2 top 25 teams at their home fields. Playing at Autzen(Oregon) and Sun Devil Stadium( ASU)are not the easiest to play in. Ask LSU and Nebraska a few years ago. Oregon vs USC
