Biggest regular-season win: vs. Virginia Tech, 24-13.

Postseason: Orange Bowl win over Oklahoma, 55-19.

Narrow escape: at Stanford, 31-28.

The skinny: Under NCAA technicalities (*), this USC team actually went 11-0 after its win over UCLA and a BCS title win over Oklahoma were vacated. We won't penalize the Trojans here, however, not with an offense that scored 40 or more points seven times and thrashed OU in the title game. The White-Bush combination in the backfield was even better than it had been in 2003.
