Any doubt that this is the game of the week? Both USC and Notre Dame are top 5 BCS schools looking to earn a title game berth with a victory. It's a showcase for two of the more impressive QBs in the NCAA, too, with Brady Quinn of the Irish squaring off with the Trojans' John David Booty. Oh, and I hear they just happen to be rivals or something, too ( ). All kidding aside, this looks to be a real slobberknocker. Who wins?

Very tough game to call. USC opened up as a 7 point favorite, but I just don't know. If USC does not make mistakes, you have to like their chances, but Notre Dame does not have to be reminded of last year, and the fact that they have not beaten USC in 4 years.

I'm going with my heart not my head on this one: Notre Dame by 14.

No. 3/2 USC and No. 6 Notre Dame meet for the 78th time in the greatest intersectional rivalry in college football....and there's a lot on the line as the winner stays alive in the hunt for a berth in the BCS Championship Game. The Trojans are coming off a solid victory over California that gave them at least a share of an unprecedented fifth consecutive Pac-10 title and clinched--at worst--their 31st Rose Bowl berth. USC has beaten Notre Dame in the past 4 meetings, including last year's memorable nailbiter in South Bend.

Personally, I don't think the Irish DBs can hang with the USC WRs. Trojans win, 35-21.

I don't think that it will be a high scoring game.

USC-21, ND-17

Looks like Duke is giving the Heels a ruff time today. The Hokies are doing just a little bit better against UVA.

If Duke does win, I have the number to a good therapist if you need it.

I missed the game, what was the final score?

It only takes 1 point to win, what I don't undrstand is why isn't Duke looking for a new coach and staff.

The USC ND game is starting to look like the game I thought it might. The 1st qrtr. was not a good one for the Irish, I only hope their not too far behind to pull it out.

John David Booty passed for 265 yards and three touchdowns to Dwayne Jarrett, USC did an exceptional job containing Notre Dame's Brady Quinn, and the Trojans topped the Fighting Irish 44-24 Saturday night.

Huge statement game for Booty, Jarrett and the Trojans, who should play for the national title if they can beat UCLA this weekend.

Thats great!
I don't want to see a Michigan-Ohio State rematch.

So much for a low scoring game.
