Scott Wolf doesn't have USC ranked.
Jon Wilner, who I hold in high esteem, also doesn't have USC ranked; but he does have NC State ranked #21 for some reason.
In case you were wondering, Jesse Newell (of the KC Star) has USC the highest at #19. 11 other pollsters have SC in their Top 25 ballots.
USC is ranked #16 by Ken Pomeroy, #26 by Jeff Sagarin, and #16 in the NCAA NET rankings.
USC is ranked #30 in both the media and coaches polls.
In other words, the computer algorithms have a lot higher opinion of USC than human beings do.
