USC has done a nice job but I don't think they are in the top 10 and will struggle to get there. I will believe more in them when they win that big one on the road . I am also curious how much some of these teams are impacted by the travel and California experience when they go to the left coast to play . Hopefully their success will have an impact on lax in general in Cali but watching a few of the games it looked like they had about 10 fans in attendance . Their schedule is pretty weak so the true test will come at the end of the season .
