There Needs To Be A Reason: Why Did USC Fall In The Coaches Poll?

Not only did USC not rise in the Coaches Poll after beating a team by 60 points, they fell two spots. It makes no sense and it means just one reason why; they hate USC. I make the case in the first segment that the poll is flawed highlighting the hypocrisy and the manipulation of the voters.
I have a some notes & quotes from the Trojans practice, as well as a couple of quotes from Clay Helton on the upcoming game in the 2nd segment. And a few recruiting notes in the final segment.

USC Has Their QB1: This Is Jayden Maiava's Team Now

Jayden Maiava has finally earned the QB1 designation and it's not for what he does on the field of play, but mores for what he does on the sidelines.
USC made a lot of impressions during their 73-13 win over the Missouri St. Bears. I have three things that really stood out for me that I talk about in the second segment.

Lincoln Riley Talked About The Depth On Defense: But Is It A Problem?
USC identified its first problem ahead of game 1; They have too much depth on the defensive line! Coach Riley talked about the challenge of finding enough playing time.

The Primary Concern On Defense For USC Is The Secondary
USC's 2025 defense is anticipated to show improvement over last year's improvement. However, if there are any concerns, the secondary would be the primary one. D'Anton, Doug Belk, and Trovon Reed have the talent, however, no one has separated themselves from each other at the cornerback spot.
