I'm not sure what you mean by "accept".  Do you mean critics don't
"recognize" that USC was better?  That doesn't seem to be the case.  Do
you mean critics don't "acknowledge" that USC was better.  That doesn't
seem to be the case either.  Do you mean critics think something should
be done to correct an unsatisfactory situation?  Well, yes, NU should
strive for better.  But on that, even Pederson and the coaches agree
with the critics.  So, I'm not sure what you mean that critics should
"accept" that USC was better.  Yes, USC was better, apparently much
much better, which seems to be precisely the basis of the criticism.
Are you advocating that we should just accept NU's inferiority to USC
(in football, of course)?
