The Los Angeles Times' Chris Dufresne beat me to the punch.

It appears USC, Louisiana State and Oklahoma are the best teams out there right now and that could ultimately lead to a contentious three-way battle for two spots in the Bowl Championship Series championship game.

These three power franchises have outscored five opponents by the total of 261-40.

The BCS title game this year is in the Louisiana Superdome.

Nick Saban is a coach in the Southeastern Conference.

Oh . . . my . . . God.

Is it 2003 all over again?

Kind of looks like it.  The difference I see is that at present, USC is not as good as its 2003 squad.  LSU and Oklahoma could be better than their 2003 groups.  And, yes, that means I think the 2003 USC squad was by far the class of college football at that point in the season.  This year's USC team will be lucky if it comes close to being as good as that team.
