[QUOTE]With the newest AP poll, USC is No. 1 for the 21st consecutive poll dating to the middle of 2003. That ties the record set by Miami in 2001-02 (including preseason polls). The Hurricanes' streak could have been 31 straight, but in each season, they fell out of the top spot for a week before returning, when the Hurricanes remained atop the poll in 29 of 30 votes.
Somehow, the Trojans' current run seems more substantial than the Hurricanes teams for those two seasons. It may be that USC finished No. 1 in each of the last two seasons, while, Miami, thanks to Ohio State, won only one national championship. It may be that the Trojans have played only a handful of close games during their run. It may be that it's early in this season and USC has yet to hit the speed bumps in their 2005 road. A loss here and a loss there, and the streak will fade.
Think about this: prior to ascending to No. 1 two years ago, USC had been atop the polls a total of 47 times in the history of the voting. That includes three national championship teams, going back to 1939, the first time the Trojans ever reached No. 1. The current streak is nearly half as long as the combined time all previous USC teams spent as No. 1s.
This is a team that even LSU fans may begrudgingly acknowledge will stand the test of time.
