Pre-Spring #5
The concensus among the polls right now is we're a pre-spring #5 team behind USC, Tennessee, Texas and Iowa.
That's the average from National Champions, ESPN, CBS and College Football News. If we're "lucky" and Iowa and Texas stay above us in the polls we could be #1 in the country if we beat them both... considering USC's weak schedule to that point.

Please post links for each to support your claim. I believe you, I just think it will make the thread better if you edit your post to include those polls so we have proof to show others.

I don't see the pollsters moving us ahead of USC, regardless of conference strength, unless they lose or struggle mightily.

I totally agree with you zinc, because USCum is the new media darling. |

I agree....But we don't need to be #1. I get excited just thinking about it...Ohio State vs. USC in The Rose Bowl.... the way it should be. Oh and it just would happen to be for the National Championship too. If I have to walk from Columbus to Pasadena... I WILL BE THERE ! It simply doesn't get better than that.

They are for now. Take away an OC like Chow, and you may just have a good team with a great defense. We all know how much the media loves those types of teams.

I think next year's pac10 schedule might surprise everyone more than we think. Cal won't be as tough, but they have some average games that could be tough considering the target on USC's back.
Yes USC is the media darling, but for once the team really deserves it. They have been fairly impressive and return virtually everyone from their roster. While I wish our schedule would warrant a #1 over their poor one, I'd rather head into the bowl game as yet another underdog.
