USC football and Washington football are two robust brand names in the world of West Coast football. Both fan bases are united in really hating Oregon. Both schools are also unique in that they have the two highest Rose Bowl appearance counts of any West Coast schools. USC has played in 34 Rose Bowls. Washington is second among West Coast schools — fourth overall (behind Michigan and Ohio State) — with 15 Rose Bowl appearances. These are two storied programs. Yet, their Week 10 meeting in Seattle has zero buzz. Both teams are 4-4 and going nowhere. The unsexy nature of this Saturday’s game underscores a basic point we noted earlier this year:

Washington community mourns loss, pays respects to Bill Walton

We would love it if Washington and USC were both great at the same time. Why? It would be bad for Oregon.
