USC football checked in at No. 17 in the preseason coaches Ppoll.
USC football isn’t ranked particularly highly in the first coaches poll of the 2020 college football season. However, relative to the rest of the conference they’re perched rather well.
The Trojans were voted No. 17, the second-highest of the Pac-12 teams ranked.
Oregon fit in at No. 9 while Utah was the only other representative of the conference at No. 20.
The coaches poll doesn’t seem certain about USC football or the Pac-12.
There were several teams from the conference who narrowly missed the cut.
