Higher Matt

It's very appropriate that your Jan. 10 cover shows USC's Matt Leinart preparing to pass without an Oklahoma Sooner in sight. Kind of the way the entire game was played.

We will assume that Austin Murphy's prediction of " Sooners by a field goal" (Inside College Football, Dec. 27--Jan. 3) was based on Oklahoma's showing up.

After seeing the likes of Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska and Florida run up huge scores over the years against lesser opponents, it was good to see the Sooners finally get theirs (Without a Doubt, Jan. 10). USC could have scored 30 more points but showed class and didn't run up the score. All schools should remember, "What goes around, comes around."

Like everyone else, you are calling invincible a Trojans team that nearly lost five games last season-- Virginia Tech, Stanford, Cal, Oregon State and UCLA. And you are all but ignoring an Auburn team that beat four Top 10 teams (USC beat two) and had the fifth-strongest schedule in the country (USC was 18th) according to the NCAA.
