When was the last time USC and Washington both entered the season in the top 10?

With USC wrapping up the Off Season Natty on National LOI day, I was pondering when was the last time UW and SC were both pre-season top 10 squads. After opening up the history books, I learned that the answer in 1982 when UW started the season ranked #2 and USC was #10, and due to scheduling that year, the two teams never actually played each other.
The last time both teams were pre-season top 10 and actually played each other was 1972 (UW started at #9 and USC #8) with Sonny Sixkiller's squad getting plungered in the Coliseum.
So, 2017 is certainly going to be special in terms of a level of pre-season hype for both programs that most of us - excepting @RaceBannon and perhaps a few other geezers here - have never witnessed.
Doog the fuck on...

Awfully cold out for preseason rankings bullshit.

axe me how many times Miami and Free Shoes were in the top 5 when playing each other. this is basically fucking embarrassing for doogs smart enough to understand it and therefore comprehend the embarrassment.
1972? Jesus. That really does put a nail in the coffin of that particular doogism and is going into the creep's rotation. you made a mistake pointing this out to me. I hope you understand that. -
When I die, I hope it's during the off-season...that way my last memory of Husky football will be one filled with success.

When were Miami and FSU in the same conference when they were both top 5? Wasn't one in Big East and one in the ACC?creepycoug said:

who gives a fuck? they played and play every year. both progrums was in the same fucking state and compeeted for the same recroots. regional rivals, call it what you will.Alexis said:

the point is, for this idea that W is some kind of strong #2 to USC's undisputed #1 in the West, (a super fucking embarrassing thing in and of itself to brag about even at the doog level of interpretation), you'd think that at some fucking point between now and 19 SEVENTY fucking two the two progrums would've found themselves in the top 10. It's not that hard to be in the top fucking 10 at least for a fucking week.

Actually, it is "speshul" because of the fact because both teams haven't been in the "conversation" so to speak heading into the season- i.e., in over 3 decades. I never said anything to the affect of how USC and Washington both have to be good for the Pac to be strong. When USC was last dominant we sucked and vice versa for our run in early 90's.creepycoug said:

Do you basically read anything here? Or do you just poast? -

Yeah, I lurked on the sidelines for about a year here before posting a single word.creepycoug said:

I'd argue that it is your reading comprehension skills that should be called into question. Open up a fucking thesaurus for the word "special" and look at the synonyms. Something that is unique, extraordinary, unusual, because it hasn't happened very often in history - i.e., big pre-season hype for both teams - is by definition "special". That my posting of some random trivia about the rarity of pre-season hype for both teams could be used as evidence in your arguments against certain doog claims is irrelevant as to whether or not something is special or rare.
Trump won, learn fucking English.
