NCAAF Trojans don’t play but don’t lose ground in US LBM Coaches Poll for Week 3
The USC Trojans had the weekend off. They need to rest up for nine consecutive weeks of game action starting on September 23 versus Arizona State. In the new US LBM Coaches Poll, they did not pay a price for being idle.
The Week 3 US LBM Coaches Poll didn’t feature many shakeups, even though a number of highly-ranked teams played poorly this past weekend. That’s because those teams were able to avoid huge upsets. Florida State won by two points at Boston College. Texas was tied with Wyoming through three quarters but pulled away from the Cowboys in the fourth. Teams were able to maintain their spots, but remember: Now the season gets interesting. The Week 4 slate is awesome, and it has a lot of significant games.
