Close losses indicates that the team could not get over the hump. USC played a much better game against Stnaford than Aruzona State did, which means that if anything, USC has a better team than Arizona State, acording to your logic. Oregon defeated Arizona State in Tempe last season. They will defeat them in Eugene this season. I will lay 3-1 odds on that game for a grand. But being a homer, you KNOW that Arizona State will lose that game.
Perhaps you may want to explain the 50-17 loss to Cal, a team that was NOT bowl eligable last season. The loss to Stanford was also in Tempe. Stanford has a better HC today than Erickson is. Stanford has much better talent than Arizona State has. Oregon is easily superior to Arizona State. While I agree that Arizona State should win the South (especially if USC is not eligable to win), but they have no chance to win it all.
