Pat Forde on the USC-Boston College showdown December 26:

According to Phil Steele’s 2009 College Football Preview ratings, Boston College does not have a single player who was in the national top 20 prospects at his position coming out of high school. USC has 50. Yes, 50.

Wow.

Also, two questions: Wouldn’t it be cooler if they called it the Boxing Day Bowl? And, non-Trojan Domers, who are you rooting for between these two hated rivals?
