Blogging from Pac-10 Media Day

We're blogging from the red carpet of Pac-10 football media day, where players from around the west coast have an opportunity to meet their favorite beat writers and radio jocks. OK, not quite ... but there are a lot of big names here today and there will be plenty of coverage over the next few hours.

To kick things off, here's this year's pre-season media poll. Remember that the LA Times does not participate, but we do report ...

1. USC (38) - 389
2. Arizona State - 330
3. Oregon - 295
4. California (1) - 274
5. UCLA - 204
6. Oregon State - 192
7. Arizona - 185
8. Washington - 139
9. Stanford - 76
10. Washington State - 61

First place votes are in parenthesis, total votes are listed after the dash.

According to the league, the poll has picked the champs 25 of 47 years and the past 8 seasons in a row (a few of those were ties, of course). USC has been on top for six years in a row, the longest streak since an 18-year run from 1965-1982.

Who on earth picked Cal #1? I could understand ASU getting a vote, or maybe even Oregon. But Cal?
