It still happened. I give USC and any other major program that lost to any team in a respectable conference a pass only in this aspect (the aspect being, losing to smaller conferences). Michigan and Oklahoma lost to teams that they could out recruit them in their sleep. There is no excuse.
The upside is that there's significant ammunition to pelt both schools with (bringing up the 55-10 USC trouncing was getting too easy)... the downside is every playoff or small conference proponent wants their air time and now they have actual proof that certain big schools can fall asleep at the wheel when playing graduated JuCo programs (especially App. State).
