will still be ranked in the Top 10, and will be ranked #1 in next year's preseason polls?? They are a fraud, the voters are a fraud, and ESPN and other national sports media are a fraud.

I believe it. The media can't get off of USC's nuts. All the USC fans say that the media loves the Irish and that the Irish get into BCS games when they don't deserve it. USC DOES TOO!! And at least the Irish have a tough schedule year in and year out. USC plays nobodies and they just lost to a nobody!!
Honestly I wouldn't put it past the pollers to put USC at #7 and bump them up a spot every week after ugly wins to give them a shot at the NC game. But that's OK. They still have to play Cal and Oregon and one of those teams will stomp them.

I wouldn't bet against it. They have only lost one game. I think what is happening in California is the same thing that is going on in Florida. There is a lot of talent in the state and it is being spread out over several institutions. California will be in the top 3 in the polls. USF, although they had a hard time this week, will probably be the only top 10 Florida school. I wouldn't call them a fraud because they have proven themselves in the past. But I don't think they will go as far this year as they hoped. They have only played one ranked team this year. Whether they rebound or continue their recent success will be yet to be seen.

They'll be ranked in the top 5 this week and be no lower than 3rd in the preseason next year.

That's a good point. It is politics top to bottom. Over rated is too common. Never before has most of the top ten lost in a two week span in the history of the polls. I think its positioning for the BCS selection season.

Actually, I think Florida will end up being number 1 in next year's preseason poll.

If USC loses at least one more (hopefully at Cal), I really think a lot of people will start figuring them out. That includes the recruits.... wake up guys, you can't all be Leinart and Bush at USC, try the better teams.

It still amazes me to hear stuff like this. I'd like the guy above me to tell me what BCS games USC didn't deserve to get into. Let's look at the last four shall we. There was last year's Rose Bowl, won by two touchdowns and berth earned by virtue of winning the Pac 10. Before that it was the national championship game. They were undefeated, riding a 34 game winning streak, and lost by 3 points. If they didn't deserve to be in that game who did??? The year before that those frauds went undefeated and won the title game by 36 points. I suppose they shouldn't have been in that one either. Before that their BCS bowl was the Orange and they won that by 21 points. Which one of these, for the love of Christ, could they possibly have not deserved to be in and why??? I challenge you to answer that in a way that makes a shred of sense. ND routinely gets into bowl games they don't deserve and they prove they don't deserve them by getting blown away. Aside from the Texas game, USC in the Carroll era has never even come close to losing their bowl games BCS or no. Pollsters tend to notice things like that and respond accordingly. This surprises you? Fraud????? No logic could support such a statement in light of Carroll's accomplishments. I beg you to provide one shred of it. This USC hatred is emotional, irrational, and bizarre.
