Too High Or Just Right? USC Ranked No. 6 In Coaches’ Poll

The USA Today coaches’ poll is out and USC is ranked No. 6.

That’s pretty high but not high enough to make the College Football Playoff.

The Trojans are above Washington (No. 11), Utah (No. 14) and Oregon (No. 15).

The part that interests me is who votes in this poll.

  • Here’s the list: Tim Albin, Ohio; Blake Anderson, Utah State; Dino Babers, Syracuse; Tim Beck, Coastal Carolina; Terry Bowden, Louisiana-Monroe; Jeff Brohm, Louisville; Neal Brown, West Virginia; Kenni Burns, Kent State; Troy Calhoun, Air Force; Jason Candle, Toledo; Curt Cignetti, James Madison; Dave Clawson, Wake Forest; Sonny Cumbie, Louisiana Tech; Ryan Day, Ohio State; Kalen DeBoer, Washington; Jake Dickert, Washington State; Dana Dimel, Texas-El Paso; Stan Drayton, Temple; Eliah Drinkwitz, Missouri; Sonny Dykes, TCU; Mike Elko, Duke; Shawn Elliott, Georgia Southern; Jedd Fisch, Arizona; Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M; James Franklin, Penn State; Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame; Hugh Freeze, Auburn; Willie Fritz, Tulane; Alex Golesh, South Florida; Danny Gonzales, New Mexico; Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State; Will Hall, Southern Mississippi; Tyson Helton, Western Kentucky; Tom Herman, Florida Atlantic; Brady Hoke, San Diego State; Dana Holgorsen; Houston; Butch Jones, Arkansas State; Brent Key, Georgia Tech; Rhett Lashlee, SMU; Lance Leipold, Kansas; Mike Locksley, Maryland; Mike MacIntyre, Florida International; Gus Malzahn, Central Florida; Chuck Martin, Miami (Ohio); Joey McGuire, Texas Tech; Jeff Monken, Army; Jim Mora, Connecticut; Billy Napier, Florida; Pat Narduzzi, Pittsburgh; Brian Newberry, Navy; Barry Odom, UNLV; Brent Pry, Virginia Tech; Matt Rhule, Nebraska; Nick Saban, Alabama; Scott Satterfield, Cincinnati; Kirby Smart, Georgia; Rick Stockstill, Middle Tennessee; Mark Stoops, Kentucky; Jon Sumrall, Troy; Lance Taylor, Western Michigan; Jeff Tedford, Fresno State; Jeff Traylor, Texas-San Antonio; Mel Tucker, Michigan State; Kyle Whittingham, Utah, Ken Wilson, Nevada; Kevin Wilson, Tulsa.

And here is the full poll:

  1. Second post.

    Well you f**king, rah-rah, FB Clownster’s, it’s CFB, 2023, pre-season BS poll, voting time.

    SUCC, the mighty bozo have been appraised by various polls from #5 thru #8 for the 2023 season. However, no poll has Dumpster U as even a slight choice for a CFP slot selection…I am so shocked!!!

    I mean how many times has Clown U’s, Ripple and Puke, FB team started out P/S poll high and finished F/S poll low…like you know, from #3 to < than #60.

    I so miss Kiffy Goat and St. Patsy's slapstick act.

    Now before Dear Pissley and his loathsome acolyte swine start whining/pissing and moaning about UCLA's pre-season poll ranking, I will confess UCLA doesn't rate in any top 25 poll. But that's ok, 'cause, as you rah-rah swine know so well, it's not where you start; it's where your team finishes that counts.

    I wonder how many SUCC, rah-rah rubes were stiffed trying to get a CFP ticket refund from the Boner's ripoff, Athletic Dept.?

    LFOL.

    Cue: Viva Las Vegas on "C" loop.

  4. Since the subject is ratings, did you know that up until a few years ago when only one team was crowned the National Champion
    that there were several publications that voted for the No. 1 team
    resulting in sometimes 2-3 teams being voted No. 1?
    Hence, SC’s 11 National Championships should be revised to ’17’

Don’t know why Scott allows one blogger to hack another’s avatar or why he allows multiple bloggers to use the same username. I do know one thing – it is truly chickenshit. Is it too much to ask that bloggers be limited to one username, one avatar and one account.

        Years ago ’67, you got quite upset with me because I called you numerous names other then the one your poor mother hung on you. You whined, pissed and moaned until I promised not to call you anything other than ’67. I’ve kept my side of the bargain until now ’67; you’re a colossal, leprous, deformed penis.

        Now as to Pavlov. Just FYI ’67, there is no such thing as a “Pavlovian Dog” or your “veritable Pavlovian Dog.”

        “Pavlov’s theory, often referred to as Pavlovian conditioning, centers around the concept of associative learning. Pavlov sought to explore how organisms (an amoeba brain in your case ’67.) including humans, acquire new behaviors and responses through repeated associations between stimuli.”

    #Nov. 2021…UCLA 62 – bozo FB 33.

    And speaking of UCLA BB, read and weep loser.

    “UCLA’s 2023 basketball recruiting class is one for the ages.
    It, arguably, is the best UCLA basketball recruiting class of the last 25 years, and rivals those of the Wooden Era.
    Coach Mick Cronin really pulled off a miraculous recruiting coup.
    It includes a total of seven high-school age recruits and one transfer.
    They are, by their ratings/rakings:

    Aday Mara, 7-3 post, Spain — He has yet to be rated and ranked by 247Sports, but he’s commonly projected as a Lottery-level-pick in the NBA Draft.

    Berke Buyuktuncel, 6-9 Power Forward, Turkey — Also unrated and unranked so far, considered one of the most-talented prospects in Europe, he’s also been projected as a first-round NBA pick.

    Ilane Fibleuil, 6-6 Wing, France — A four-star and ranked the No. 40 prospect in the nation, which is possibly a little low.

    Jan Vide, 6-4.5 PG, Slovenia — Currently rated by 247Sports as a three-star, but we’ve been told he could be re-rated and re-ranked.

    Sebastian Mack, 6-4 Shooting Guard, Henderson (Nev.) Coronado — Four-star, ranked No. 63 nationally (No. 56 by the Composite).

    Brandon Williams, 6-7 Power Forward, Middle Village (New York) Christ the King — Four-star, ranked No. 66 nationally

    Devin Williams, 6-10 Post, Corona (Calif.) Centennial — Four-star, No. 77 Nationally

    Lazar Stefanovic, 6-7 Wing, Utah Transfer — Four-star transfer

    Eight new players. Four international stars. Three high school freshmen. One impact transfer”

    1. Your need to try and pump up UCLA basketball is homeless-miss-my-mommie sad. Tiger Campbell ran out of eligibility. Mick ran out of credibility. No wonder Cincinnati let him go without asking for anything back in return. So Owns has confirmed that UCLA Foreign student exchange program has been used to recruit talent for Mick. Maybe Cryin Cronin can help Chip find a qb that utilize a forward pass accurately, or better than DTR who still couldn’t keep the ball away the defense after SIX YEARS of Chip Kelly coaching!!! Boy, if I were Dante Moore, I’d have regrets too if the only passing being taught are hand-offs and food plates!

      Hey Owns, why does it take 85 players to pass food to Chip Kelly? Can that comforter you use help you find an answer?

        At UCLA it’s customary for a athlete to lose athletic eligibility after 4 or 5 years. That’s just the way the NCAA works.

Those students graduate and go back to China with as much US proprietary military information as they can cram on a10 TB memory stick and join the Red Chinese Communist intelligence community.

      The answer PH, fucking, filthy sticking lucre. If SUCC had an endowment of $40 trillion they would train a No. Korean how to blow up a So. Korean bridge so SUCC could say they are now worth $40 trillion and 10.00.

      4. Frankly Owns, you are 100% correct. It is a disgrace that USC is educating Communist Chinese students while many very worthy American students get turned away. How does teaching the Communist Chinese about the latest advancements in Nuclear technology and cybersecurity benefit the country? It does not. And it is not about the money. The tuition of the Chinese students is only slightly higher than American students. I wish someone would bring this up with our illustrious leader, Ms. Carol Folt.

      7. No Gabby, diversity is not a bad word. USC is incredibly diverse and has been for decades. American born white males are about 13% of the student population. Asians are well represented with about 20% of the undergraduate student population. So diversity is not a reason for the astronomically high rate of Communist Chinese students. We are diverse enough in California without them. And we don’t need diversity, equity, and inclusion professors and administrations on campus spewing their hatred for the country when we don’t have a diversity problem and yet USC employs over a hundred of them with salary and benefits packages that exceed $150,000 per year on average. Just in case you were wondering why tuition rates are now north of $60,000 per year. These leftists really know how to mess up everything they touch and the university campus is exhibit one.

        BTW, looks like Hunter and Joe got the Chinese to donate at least 54 million to the University of Pennsylvania and Joe suddenly received a full professorship at one million per year wherein he wasn’t required to teach. He did leave some boxes for the Chinese though. The DOJ doesn’t seem interested in this one.
