Poll pontification: No. 1 USC getting too much love
Three getting too much love
No. 1 USC: Bear with me, everyone. The purpose of the poll isn’t necessarily to slot teams/increase-decrease value as they win or lose. It’s to define an entire body of work. Which win(s) looks better this fall: LSU at Auburn, Georgia at Arizona State or USC at home against Ohio State?
I think we can all confidently agree that this Ohio State team — at least after four weeks — is a shadow of the Buckeye teams that deserved to play in the past two seasons’ national title games (no matter how much everyone whines). So the Trojans blew out Ohio State. Yeah, so? See where I’m headed? And don’t even get me started about Virginia, which is just God-awful.
