A quick look reaffirms what we all already know: USC is loaded. Especially on defense. Six Trojan defenders made my Top 20 on this list, which is based on potential and past production. But Cal may be explosive enough to beat USC, thanks to what could be the nation's best pass-catch duo: Nate Longshore to DeSean Jackson.
1. John David Booty, QB, USC
2. Rey Maualuga, LB, USC
3. DeSean Jackson, WR, Cal
4. Keith Rivers, LB, USC
5. Nate Longshore, QB, Cal
6. Bruce Davis, DE, UCLA
7. Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC
8. Sam Baker, OT, USC
9. Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona
10. Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
11. Shannon Tevaga, G, UCLA
12. Louis Holmes, DE, Arizona
13. Derrick Doggett, LB, Oregon State
14. Taylor Mays, S, USC
15. Alex Mack, C, Cal
16. Sammie Stroughter, WR, Oregon State
17. Chris Horton, S, UCLA
18. Brian Cushing, LB, USC
19. Craig Stevens, TE, Cal
20. Terrell Thomas, CB, USC
21. Yvenson Bernard, RB, Oregon State
22. Spencer Larsen, LB, Arizona
23. Michael Marquardt, DT, Arizona State
24. Chris Markey, RB, UCLA
25. Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon

29. Michael Bumpus, WR, Washington State
30. Trey Brown, CB, UCLA
31. Ryan Torian, RB, Arizona State
32. Mike Gibson, OT, Cal
33. Jarius Byrd, CB, Oregon
34. Ekom Udofia, DT, Stanford
35. Brandon Rodd, OT, Arizona State

Probably safe to say that one Justin Forsett will be on the postseason top-40 list. I'm sure there are a few others, but this is a particularly glaring omission. While the spotlight will be on THA-1 all year, it will be "Tex" who'll truly carry the 2007 Golden Bears.
