Go ahead and count me in as one of those voters I have chastised in the past for putting the USC Trojans down as the best team in the country. Simple truth is that USC’s thrashing of Ohio State earned them the top spot. It is by far the most impressive win by any team during this young season.
Oklahoma has earned the #2 spot this week and without doubt they have been the second most impressive team in the country behind USC.
