College Football News recently posted their 2009 preview of the USC Trojans, and asks whether USC is this decade’s version of Florida State in the 1990’s.

More from CFN:

“Hey, USC has been otherworldly over the last seven years under Pete Carroll, going 82-9 and winning a Pac-10 title each season. However, there’s been just a single perfect season and outright national championship almost five years ago.”

“It may not be fair, but the program has started to be defined by it’s high-profile flubs over the last three years against UCLA, Stanford, and Oregon State, which prevented a return to the title game. Considering their disparity of talent compared to just about every school in the country, don’t you get the feeling that the Trojans need to raise the bar a notch higher?”

Here’s how CFN ranks the Top Ten best players on the 2009 Trojans:

1. FS Taylor Mays, Sr.
2. C Kristofer O’Dowd, Jr.
3. WR Damian Williams, Jr.
