LightningDusty	19	↑NR Dismantled Michigan quite magnificently. Oregon looks vulnerable, and the rest of their B1G Ten slate appears manageable. Is this a B1G Championship and playoff dark horse? Feels weird to associate that term with USC of all teams, but I feel like they're flying under the radar.

_THE__BOULDER_	21	USC has been bouncing in and out of the AP rankings but this is the first time I've ranked them this year. While they are 5-1, with their only loss being to a decent Illinois, team, none of their games thus far have been particularly impressive until the win against Michigan in which they won in palindromic fashion (31-13). I think this is the first game where they've really handled business against what is likely at least a decent opponent. They do, however, have a potential big game coming up against Notre Dame this weekend. Curious to see if USC can keep the upsets coming.
