USC moved up two spots to No. 17 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll.
That is the Trojans’ biggest jump since the Pac-12 season started.
See what happens when you don’t actually have to watch the Trojans play.
- USC opens as a 12.5-point favorite over Washington State according to BetOnline.
Who would have thought that Northwestern, Marshall, and Coastal Carolina would all be ranked ahead of us?

Buddha, those teams you cite all have very good coaches. Just shows what a team can do with the right leadership.

With the shortened season and games getting cancelled, the poll should limit the list to ten teams or twelve.
No reason to have a Top 25 when there are large inconsistencies in scheduling and overall body of work this year.

So if Wazzu and UCLA get cancelled for the ‘VID, might we jump into the top 10?

If USC plays, will they beat the curfew with the current game time ?

Would they actually call it a tie if curfew was approaching? Sheesh…

67 — Ha! [Wouldn’t it be grand if Carol DID run out on the field (in one of her cute little cowgirl outfits) to enforce curfew with a quarter of football left]?

Does anyone on this blog actually think USC is #17 based on their 3 game performance? The first two games were clunkers and the third OK. This season has reduced the polls to throwing darts outside the top 5 teams. Outside the SEC no team has played a full schedule and teams have had players and coaches missing due to COVID. There is no way to measure performance accurately with byes, cancellations, and postponements. Instead of limping along on one leg, college football should punt until 2021. The $ has already been lost and won’t be recovered in the next couple of weeks. Shut it down and get ready for 2021 and keep folks healthy.

Sorry, RT had just read the post to me and posted it. I was dumbfounded when it didn’t show up. How could all that typing disappear? But he wants to be able to like posts and you have to have an account to do that.
