About Inside USC
Scott Wolf has covered USC for the Daily News since 1996. A USC
graduate, he covered his first Trojan game in 1984 for
the Daily Trojan. Scott is known as the "scourge of the Internet
message boards," according to radio host Petros Papadakis. Despite this
moniker, there's no truth to the rumor he takes pleasure in
antagonizing the "Internet geeks."

I wonder where SC will end up if it wins out and beats somebody good at the Holiday Bowl? Would they make it in the top 10? Doubt it. Probably top 15.
I don't think a Top 10 finish in the AP Poll is out of the question if USC can win its' last three games, including (hopefully) the Holiday Bowl.
The following list of 10-3 teams made it in the final AP Top 10:
2008 (Ohio St-9th, Oregon-10th)
2007 (Texas-10th)
2006 (None)
2005 (N.D.-9th, Georgia-10th) ND was 9-3 in 2005
2004 (VaTech-10th)
2003 (Michigan-6th, Iowa-8th, Wash St.-9th)
2002 (Michigan-9th, Wash St.-10th)
