70stang 16 USC finishes out Tier 4, with 4 P5 wins, 2 G5 wins, and 1 P5 loss away to be 6-1. They are lower than Utah due to losing to an unranked team. They will, happily, settle it head to head this weekend.

nw____ 24 They are who we thought they were. But we didn't let them off the hook. Surprised it was the offense that let them down rather than the defense--the final score hides that the defense was actually pretty good. It isn't going to get any easier, though.
PrimalCookie 24 1.453 - Funnily enough it hasn’t like USC all season, but they barely moved this week. The power of a quality loss I guess (and Arizona/Stanford winning and improving their scores by a good bit)

_TGT7 17 -10, Caleb Williams plays like absolute trash, USC’s defense looks awful against a not good Notre Dame Offense, and USC falls flat in their first test of the season. I had USC much higher than most, assuming their offense would still be very good, but 7-5 for USC isn’t out of the picture if they look like this against good defensive teams. I think Williams will return to form after this, but he needs to perform for this team to be considered a Top 25 team.

CaptainScuttlebottom 17 It's one thing to have a bad defense, but when your entire team is your offense and you can't get that going, it's not good.

FlashSpider-man 17 Caleb Williams was off. The pressure got to him and he made bad decisions. To add to this, their defense hasn't looked good at all recently. They've had multiple weeks being closer than it should have been against bad teams, then getting wrecked by a good team. They don't look good

tisofold 20 This team was never as good as their ranking implied with a Riley & Grinch defense. They will not stop at losing one game. The offense is superb, so they're still on this list - any team led by Caleb Williams should be - but defense wins championships, and USC doesn't have one.

throwaway_6786 22 That was really rough from the Trojans. The win against Arizona looks better, but the win over Colorado looks worse. ND had their way with USC pretty much all night and because USC doesn't have any marquee wins to fall back on, they take a huge tumble down 10 spots to #22. They've got to figure things out soon too, because their boogeyman comes to town next week.
