It was only a six years ago that ESPN claimed USC was the greatest team of all time. They had already counted the 2005 national championship to run along with the 2003 split title and 2004 BCS championship. There seemed to be no end in sight for the fast moving train that was the Southern Cal's football program. However, last week the dynasty officially disappeared from history. The history books now will show zero championships for USC this century.
This monumental change in how the previous decade of college football will be viewed in history drives me to question where USC's mid 2000 football teams should be placed in the grand scheme of things. They were undoubtedly some of the most talented teams in college football history, but they also only won one championship on the field. (2004, which has now been taken away) So, now where should ESPN place this team? Should they ever include them on greatest of all time lists or does this privilege get taken away with the title?
