I never mentioned the AP poll. So why would you post it? What I said was Auburn is behind USC in the 2 BCS polls. That is the coaches poll and Harris Poll. AP is not factored in the BCS system. I thought you knew this stuff.
But I don't know how anyone could look at USC's last two performances against the dregs of the Pac-10 (a 20-3 win at Arizona and a 28-22 nail-biter at Washington State) and conclude that this team is playing better than Michigan, which currently trails the Trojans by four spots in the coaches' poll.
QB John David Booty and the offense are actually playing pretty well, despite what the low scores might indicate. The truly alarming development if you're a USC fan is the way Washington State QB Alex Brink picked apart the Trojans' young and still-suspect secondary last Saturday. None of their previous opponents had attacked them like that. The Cougars racked up 418 yards

Last week @ washington st. USC had a total of 5 returning starters from last year starting. :scared USC is a bunch of freshman, sophomores and juniors. Give them some time to grow up and mature. USC also needs to get some key injured players back. Once again it has been injury plagued season for USC. BTW, playing back to back conf. road games is not easy, especially with a young inexperienced team. Playing the #4 rated SOS in the country is difficult, and starting your season with 3/4 games on the road is brutal.
I agree Booty is playing well. Way ahead of Leinart at this time in his career which is scary. Next 4 games USC will open offense so it will be interesting to see how he performs.
Lastly, BRINK is a veteran QB who runs a complex offense. WSU had great gameplan and excuted it well with a QB who was on his game. Props to WSU! They showed the Pac 10 how to beat USC's 3/4 D. Arkansas, Nebraska, and Arizona couldn't. Time for PC to make adjustments.
