Let's show those turds who's boss.
Like Quinton said, we're going to have to make an example out of someone. It's like your first day in prison. You gotta kick someone's ass right off the bus so people will respect you. That's pretty much what Southern Cal did to UVA. Of course, they beat up Thomas Jefferson instead of some big scary dude over by the weight lifting equipment, but everyone in "The Yard" saw it.
All we can do is
As for the poll ballots...you may be interested to know that we actually gained 4 net "points" in the coaches poll. Yes, we lost two first place votes, but the bigger reason that USC jumped so much were the first place votes assigned to OSU, Florida, and OU that they gained.
The AP poll, which has zero bearing on the BCS Standings beyond "perception" issues when the Harris Poll comes out in a few weeks, we dropped net 22 points. That means that about 1/3 of voters dropped us one spot. That's not so bad considering that OU and UF also dropped a bit. UF remained flat overall.
Regardless, we were always going to drop a spot to the winner of OSU/USC. The good news is that OU only had 2 first place votes to our 20 first place votes in each poll. We only need to finish 2nd to make the title game.
