I'm suprised no Stanford.
Alot of teams on this list are overrated thanks to last year's records/name value... Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Penn State, LSU, Florida State, Georgia. Would have liked to see Stanford crack the list and some others (Wisconsin, Oregon State) get more love. Looking forward to seeing how it all shakes out. Would the season get started already?????
not being eligible for the USA Today Poll could be disasterous to Southern Cal's chances at winning their only BCS championship...my prediction: UCLA will win a BCS title before Southern Cal ever wins one (with a legal team).
amazing when you think about how many trOJie "Heroes" end their careers in public disgrace. OJ I, MacGuire, Bush...and on and on.
Geez - no mention of ucla in this poll. Just another 3-9 year coming up. since the bruins have never won a national championship how can the trolls think they will win one before USC wins another yet again? The real disgrace is having a shi**y team year after year with no chance for improvement. The pistol offense (ROTFLMAO) will fire blanks - you read it here first!!
Interesting that ucla got the same number of votes as Sc. You know what this means... It's time for Mr. Guerrero to run another great ucla football ad in the LA Times!
Southern Cal has never and will never win a national title......But USC has won, and will win many more you gutty lil Bruin.
No ranking for UCLA? These bozos must not know much about football. Coach Rick will give them, and all you Troxans, a real coach's pole!
Taste it!
Hey bucket you know what really is amazing? That USC players actually have a sports career to begin with unlike those Fucla players that embarrass themselves playing for 4 years only to end up working flipping burgers at Carl's. And Fucla winning a bcs, please. They had to shit their pants to make it to any bowl last year.
But anyways have fun living vicariously through USC.
AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
SEC, BIG 10, BIG 12 blah blah blah.....Media Darlings = $$$
WHAT? No Fucla? I thought Ricky said the Monopoly was over. Wow. Those coaches don't know anything......or do they?
T70, are you sure it's not the Pop Gun offense?
Hey nobs, I don't see the trOJans in the top 25, aren't some of you trOJan fans saying they're going undefeated this season? I don't get it.
