Can the USC Trojans remain on top of the BCS Rankings and win the 2008 NCAA College Football Title?

If basketball has the Spurs, college football has these guys.

The USC Trojans have always been the picture of success in college football. However, as the brand new 2008 NCAA college football season opens up the door of opportunity for other teams to shine, can USC remain on top?

The last time the USC Trojans dominated the college gridiron is when Matt Leinart was playing. Leinart led the Trojans to an AP national championship in 2003, a BCS national championship in 2004, and an appearance in the 2005 BCS national championship game.

Since Matt Leinart went pro, the Trojans were left for John David Booty to carry on that winning tradition. And although he has, in some way, accomplished that task, the domination USC once had was gone.

Now that John David Booty has joined Leinart in the NFL, leaving the Trojans wondering if they can remain on top with two of their greatest quarterbacks gone, what's in store for USC this season?

For what it's worth, Mark Sanchez looks primed and ready to take over after successfully filling in for Booty when he was injured last season. Sanchez is fortunate to have a defense dubbed as ''best defense in the nation'' by many observers, to back him up too.

And if they can live up to the billing, the offense should have plenty of time to gel behind Sanchez. It's no surprise that USC, thanks to that defense, is once again a heavy favorite to win the BCS national championship game given their immense talent and schedule.

Playing in the PAC 10 awards the Trojans arguably an easier road too compared to those programs that have to do battle in the rigorous SEC.
