With the late start to the season, USC football will have to prove worthy of an AP Top 25 ranking.
The AP Top 25 transformed this week as voters acknowledged Big Ten and Pac-12 teams.
USC football may be playing ball this November, but they still don’t feature in the rankings.
Realistically, the Trojans aren’t likely to make their move into the Top 25 until they earn it, starting with a Week 1 victory.
