USC rises to No. 6 in USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll
The USC Trojans are ranked No. 6 in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
We told you not to associate too much meaning or value to USC’s high spot in the polls over the past few weeks. Wins over Stanford and Fresno State did not move the needle. Beating Oregon State, if USC could achieve it, would validate and merit a high place in the national rankings.
USC went into Corvallis and got the job done. The defense grew up and saved the offense. The Trojans have the toughness of a team which can be viewed with considerable respect. This is not a finished product. There are a lot of flaws to correct … but USC is in position to achieve its goals. That’s big.
