Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Betting on USC may be a mistake....
USC won't be ranked in coaches' poll
This will be an unranked season for USC in USA Today's football coaches' poll.
Grant Teaff, executive director of the American Football Coaches Association, told USA Today that because the school is under major NCAA sanctions and prohibited from playing in a bowl, it will be ineligible for the poll.
USC filed an appeal with the NCAA last month, asking that several sanctions of its football program be reduced because they are "too severe" and "inconsistent with precedent."
USC appealed only certain aspects of the NCAA's ruling. Among the penalties were a two-year bowl ban, four years of probation, scholarship losses and removal of several victories. The school will accept a bowl ban for the upcoming season and certain scholarship penalties in football, but believes the full sanctions were unduly harsh.
According to USA Today, it was expected that USC would be eligible for the coaches' poll in 2010 because it planned to appeal, but because the school accepted the postseason ban for this season, it became ineligible for the poll.
Teaff released a statement in which he said the AFCA informed USC athletic director Mike Garrett, USC coach Lane Kiffin, Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott and BCS executive director Bill Hancock that the Trojans would be ineligible for the 2010 coaches' poll.
The coaches' poll is one of the rankings used in the formula to determine the BCS standings.

It will be interesting to see where they're ranked in the AP poll if they make it past the trip to Stanford undefeated.

It'll be interesting to see how SC plays this year. On paper they're undoubtedly the most talented team in the conference. Kiffen is a jerk but Tennessee had an OK year last year playing both Florida and 'Bama tough. As for the other teams there's about 5 teams that are probably good enough to win the conference but none of them will be great.

WhoO WhoO WhoO!
It may not be going out on a HUGE limb, but I'm going to put USC down for 4 losses this season.
As much as I dislike Pete Carroll he's still a better coach than Lane Kiffin. There is simply too much to overcome.
Oregon State wins the Pac-10 this year.
