I think it's amazing that the Pats and Trojans have won back to back championships, and both will be remembered as great champions for years to come. I think the Pats have built a very talented TEAM, and have done incredible things, but I think Talent wise, the Trojans are just stocked (compared to the rest of college football). They have had 3 Heisman winners in the last 4 years.
The Pats seem to win games despite usually not having the superstars, but winning as a TEAM. They have arguably the NFL's best QB, who turns it up a notch in December & January (and February), and a receiver, Deoin Branch, who does the same thing when the playoffs start. Also, although Corey Dillon doesn't look like the Dillon of last year, he showed himself to be a playoff warrior last year. The defense, when healthy, plays smashmouth football, though Richard Seymour & Tedy Bruschi are probably the only defenders most non-Pats fans can name.
The Trojans have what some people are calling a left handed Tom Brady in Matt Linert. Reggie Bush adds a dynamic to their offense that the Pats don't have (though I wish we could draft Bush in April), and the Trojans have some excellent receivers in Jarret and Smith. Though I don't know much about their defense, I don't think they are a great defense, though I like Darnell Bing at safety.
Overall I think New England is the better Champion, with the salary cap to deal with, and a very tough Conference to play against (Colts, Steelers, Broncos, Bengals, Chiefs, and Chargers to name a few). Though the Trojans go through losing players to graduation, what great high school senior wouldn't want to go to USC at this point and time. They can recruit the best of the best. Comments ??
