It doesn't matter anyhow.
USC might end up #2. I think they should.
But they won't open at #2 next year. Probably more like #5
The top 5 (this is really early) for next year:
1) Texas
2) Ohio State
3) Florida (just watch)
4) LSU
5) USC
6) Notre Dame
Texas won't be ranked #1 in the preseason polls unless Vince Young comes back. Ohio State will probably be preseason #1 otherwise following closely by LSU, Penn State and Notre Dame.
