USC football barely sneaks into preseason US LBM Coaches Poll

The USC Trojans aren’t getting any respect. Is it fair? Who cares? All that matters is that the Trojans need to earn respect before anyone gives it to them. The latest example: The preseason edition of the US LBM Coaches Poll from USA TODAY Sports has USC at the back end of the poll. The Trojans barely got in while a lot of other programs have much higher rankings despite facing questions as severe if not worse than what USC football is dealing with. Without further ado, let’s give you the poll so that you can identify all the teams ranked ahead of USC. There are more than 20 of them.
