    Suprising that USC has only been there twice and has 5 players and Pete Carroll as the 75th Anniv Head Coach. There is something fishy with that voting IMHO.

    I don't like seeing those USC guys, but I have to admit that's an impressive roster.

    It looks to me like they didn't play the Orange Bowl between 1946 and 1970..only 1 player in 34 years.....just doesn't seem right. I know these "Anniversary" Teams are tough, everybody who's voting remembers the current players and just watch grainy black and whites (if that at all) of the old players. They don't look as good on film.
