I'm not going to say I told you so. I am going to say Scott Wolf told you so. Our USC beat writer took a lot of heat for defying the early-season conventional wisdom and voting the Trojans only No. 3 in the Associated Press poll -- almost as if they might not be an unconquerable football team. Scott looks pretty good after the Trojans' loss to Oregon State tonight. Unless, of course, you want to rip him for overrating them.

Contrary to popular opinion, the biggest threat to the USC football team's No. 1 ranking might not be Scott Wolf, our writer who voted the Trojans No. 3 in this week's AP poll. The biggest threat might be the perceived weakness of the Pac-10, which provides most of the Trojans' remaining regular-season opponents.
