Outside Topic USC in bottom 10 of ESPN Rankings
That means that we are so irrelevant to the college football world that they forgot to put us on this list. We're so bad that we aren't good enough to be mentioned in the bottom 10.
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip.

It's an entertaining list. Of course the Trojans aren't bad enough to belong there. But there is a certain poetic justice in putting them in the list because of their hubris. The Trojans wanted cash in a treasonous sell-out of the Pac-12. The gap between what they envisioned (competing for a Big Ten championship) and what they now have (1-3 and no chance to recover) is worthy of the bottom ten. Let them wallow there for a bit. For the record: during the entire history of the Pac-8/10/12, I never hated the Trojans. Now I do. I hope they become the doormat of the Big Ten.

#5 on this list is usually poking fun at that team for one reason or another

+1 for all the reasons you cite. I hope they continue a long, slow, well-deserve fade into oblivion and irrelevance.
USC (3-3) is a gratuitous inclusion at #5 on the list. The other teams are either 0-6 or 1-5.

If USC loses their next 60 games at 0-100 I'll call it a good start but please wake me up when the streak hits 240. I'll also ask if there was really no chance for someone to beat them 0-107 ?
The only exceptions to the rule will be when USC plays their toady, the cowardly and pusillanimous UCLA. If a volcano cratering the field is not a viable option for the game then I'll hope for it to end as a two team forfeit perhaps due to mass disqualifications. But I'll also ask was the volcano thing really not possible?

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
