USC Heads Into Season Ranked #1 [David Stefanini]

Pete Carroll and the USC Trojans are once again the top team in the country. The AP released their pre-season rankings and here are a list of the top 10 teams in the nation.

1. USC
2. LSU
3. West Virginia
4. Texas
5. Michigan
6. Florida
7. Wisconsin
8. Oklahoma
9. Virginia Tech
10. Louisville

Honorable mention goes to Rutgers who starts the season as the 16th ranked team in the nation in both the AP and USA Today poll.

Looking at this list it is hard not to be a fan of Virginia Tech. After the tragedy that struck their campus, and sent fear through college students around the country, I am rooting for Virginia Tech to have a great season to help contribute to the healing process.
