Final football polls out.

USC is #2 in the final Coaches' Poll (didn't expect that).
USC is #3 in the final AP Poll (didn't expect that either). Should have been reversed, don't you think? I thought the press was in love with USC at the end of the season, especially after the dismantling of Illinois? Oh those media types, they're so finicky.

In both cases, Ohio State dropped like a dead anything...and rightly so. They had a patsy schedule with non-conference foes that read like the schedule Hawaii played. You can't argue that LSU didn't deserve the NC...but perhaps OSU shouldn't have been in that game since, after all...they like the rest of the Big-10 suffer from a lack of speed.

And so what if USC lost its chance to play for the NC? It was still a damned great year and USC finished #2/3. USC has finished in the top 4 every year for the past 6 years...beat that.
