A lot of college football preseason magazines put together lists that are mostly guesswork.
So here is who Athlon picks from USC for its All-Pac-12 team.
First-Team Offense
QB Caleb Williams
RB/All-Purpose Travis Dye
WR Jordan Addison
OL Andrew Vorhees
First-Team Defense
DL Tuli Tuipulotu
Second-Team Offense
WR Mario Williams
C Brett Neilon
Third-Team Offense
WR Gary Bryant
Third-Team Defense
DL Nick Figueroa
LB Eric Gentry
CB Mekhi Blackmon
S Calen Bullock
Fourth-Team Defense
DL Korey Foreman
LB Shane Lee
Fourth-Team Specialists
KR Brenden Rice
PR Gary Bryant
REACTION: Four teams? For the Pac-12? Really? This ain’t the SEC. If USC has only one first-team defensive performer, the Trojans will definitely not meet expectations for Year 1 under Lincoln Riley.
The entire FOUR-TEAM squad is here.
- Since today’s Morning Buzz focused on USC-Alabama, here is Jeff Fisher talking about returning to Legion Field in Birmingham after 44 years.

Shane Lee started at Alabama as a true freshman ILB and played at a high level. He is healthy now, I suspect he will break up Pac-12 offenses, I don’t see him as “4th team all pac-12”.

Truth will come out in about mid October. Why can’t they just have a list of players to watch by position and see where they come out. These “experts” are wrong more than they are right.

I’m waiting for the Phil Steele magazine which will ship around mid-June. He generally marches to his own algorithms. Problem now is the sportswriter fools appear to be using last year’s record in their equations. That will pull down all good LR has done. Hopefully, the lower predictions will inspire the team to bring out their A game. I am sick and tired of hearing about wonder boy Lanning who gained success at the tutelage of Kirby Smart. For some reason he’s sold the idea, HE WON the Natty………..what an ego. I’m also tired of hearing SC is lucky they don’t have to play Oregon during the regular season. I hope Georgia shuts them out.

I hate preseason polls for several reasons, the biggest being they are just a scientific wild ass guess and is only there to generate clicks, which they do unfortunately. A meaningful poll will come out after about week 5, but then we will still have voters unable to change their votes because of ego, they don’t want to look stupid, and they want to save face. If Korey Foreman decides he wants to be a great player, watch him zoom to the top and bring a few other Trojans along with him. Imagine the phone call, “Hey dad, I made 4th team Pac12, aren’t you impressed?”
