The FanSided Network has handed in its ballots in this week’s Fansided Top 25 Poll, and the Trojans have a more favorable spot than the traditional media polls, ranking 12th, just as they were last week.
The Oregon Ducks earned a couple of first place votes from our peers, while Kansas State’s win over Oklahoma vaulted them up six spots and into the Top 10. UCLA falls out and is replaced by their defeaters, as Oregon State now ranks 20th. That leaves USC schedule with just two ranked opponents left, in Oregon and Notre Dame. Should the Trojans win the Pac-12 South as they’re favored to do, they would likely play a third ranked team.
