It’s really simple…USC hasn’t been relevant in over a decade. OU and Texas football brands are way bigger then USC/UCLA.

Sounds like you've got a lot to learn about BOTH Finebaum and Riley.

Are you slow or something? The only decent recruits he has were committed to OU before he left. He can’t get any OL or DL commits and has an open rebellion going on from a transfer WR that was openly lied to by him and his staff.

USC is a bigger brand than Oklahoma and as long as Riley is in LA and Sark in Texas, they're a bigger brand than the Longhorns. That might change if they get a better coach in Austin.

Finebaum is a clickbait troll. He is geared to get ratings and since joining the SECN he has been very good at getting non SEC fans to listen to his show. Sounds like a soundbite given to attract more non SEC folks to his show.

Now you're beginning to catch on. I have been saying this for years. Finebaum has fed you all a constant diet of SEC SEC SEC for years but when he gets on a national audience, he tells the truth.

Nope, you are the one not catching on, he has been trolling BuckNuts fans for decades to get them to listen and call into his show.

Surely you are smarter than the average BuckNuts and have not fallen hook, line, and sinker for this plot?

“ Plus it may be the most fertile recruiting ground in the nation.”

Uh, nope.

Finebaum has hated Ohio State ever since we beat Alabama in the first CFP. His hate toward us probably existed before then but that was when I first took notice of his act. He was in mourning after the game and has been taking shots at us ever since. He has more than once politicked to keep The Buckeyes out of the playoff. He would make a great anchor for the Chiese News.

I'm sorry if the truth hurts but Riley said he went to USC as soon as they offered because he knew it offered him the best chance of winning a national title.

SI, eSECpn, and you can spin it how you want but Your coaches, star players, and recruits showed who was the bigger brand by following him to LA.

"Lincoln Riley factor is huge"? Last time I saw one of his teams in action against an SEC team LSU had put up 7 TD's by half. And I want to see his Southern Calif. boys in action in Nov. against Mich., State. Ohio St. Purdue, even Indiana. UCLA? A non factor for a wide variety of reasons, #1 being they suck.

USC and UCLA add expenses that make no sense. The Rutgers tennis team or volleyball team traveling 2500 miles to play UCLA or USC....that's not counting all the other sports. UCLA and USC haven't been relevant in football for decades.....give me a break. It was an idiotic move at best.

He went to USC cuz he didn’t want to coach in the SEC, he opposed the move to joe C and openly inside the OU program. Also only his QB and WR recruits followed him and they already LIVED in cali. OU is far out recruiting USC both last year and this year so not sure what you are smoking guy. I think you’re still mad that Baker planted that flag in y’all’s asses at mid field after that beat down.

Finebaum has really fallen off the last several years and his pandering in general is why. This is just another example. Securing the full Texas and OKC markets are far more valuable than LA that’s split and not really into college sports.

One could argue what Sark is doing at UTx right now recruiting wise is way more impressive than Riley, considering the prestige Riley came in with.

As long as the checks keep coming in for Finebaum, he will keep pandering. Wish he would just go away already.

Ohio State needs to be more concerned with having their Nuts cracked when the Trojans come marching in!
