USC #1 In AP Poll

Can someone - for the love of gawd - explain / justify to me USC's #1 ranking in the AP Poll? The voters are clearly desperate for a non-SEC power school, but is this the best they can do? They weren't even the best PAC 12 team last season!

Doesn't help that USC won't play anyone of consequence until Oregon Nov. 3, which should ensure their fraudulent #1 ranking until then. However, USC often screws up and loses to teams they should crush ... I'm looking at you Oregon State & Arizona State! And of course, USC won't play an SEC team in the regular season.

I'm an unashamed Crimson Tide homer, and I'd have no problem with LSU at #1. Even Oklahoma or Oregon could make a better case than USC. As it stands, the AP voters should be ashamed of themselves. It's sad, pathetic and disgusting.
