Southern California is now a no-doubt-about-it No. 1 and Oklahoma moved into the No. 2 spot for the first time this season, slipping ahead of Georgia in the media poll. The Bulldogs barely got past South Carolina 14-7 on Saturday and the Sooners notched their third consecutive blowout victory, winning 55-14 at Washington. Georgia is the first preseason No. 1 since Oklahoma in 1985 to start the season with three consecutive victories and still drop as far as No. 3. "I'm not surprised that it could happen, because you've seen it happen before," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "Everybody wants to kind of settle in and see where everybody thinks everybody belongs. It's hard. Shoot, I'm a voter too. It's hard on everybody." Georgia also fell behind USC and Oklahoma in the USA Today coaches' poll. The Bulldogs shouldn't fret. They'll have plenty of opportunities to make up what they've lost in the rankings when they play the other SEC's four other top-10 teams. Florida is No. 4, LSU is sixth, Alabama is No. 9 and Auburn is 10. The Trojans' resounding 35-3 victory against Ohio State on Saturday night made them an overwhelming No. 1 in their third week atop the poll. USC received 61 first-place votes and 1,596 points. The Trojans had 33 first-place votes last week. Georgia received two first-place votes this week, and Florida got one. [A.
