Do you think this game, though a loss, changed some of the national perception about the Beavers? They lost to the #7 team by 3 points in a game they should've, would've, could've won. To me, this was less about the Trojans winning and more about the Beavers losing, as the title to your piece suggests. It would be a lot different sans a WR dropped pass, a WR holding penalty, a missed 46-yard field goal, a missed holding call, and a missed PI call. It seems like voters and ESPN are giving USC more credit for beating OSU than they deserve.
