No sharing necessary: USC is No. 1

USC repeated as national champion -- and won't have to share it this time. The top-ranked Trojans routed No. 2 Oklahoma 55-19 in the Orange Bowl, completing a wire-to-wire run at No. 1 in the AP poll. SI.com's Stewart Mandel says the USC-dominated BCS title game wasn't a classic; it was a classic mismatch.
