| Doogitywoogity | 24 | I struggled with who to rank here, but I think it’s fair to keep USC in but low for how they’ve been. They haven’t been able to pull the big wins, but they’re better than most squads. They’ll get to keep proving that vs Nebraska, NWern and Iowa the next few weeks, before getting a chance at Oregon. |

| _THE__BOULDER_ | 25 | Loss to Notre Dame, who are a good team, at Notre Dame. Other loss to Illinois, who are also pretty decent, at Illinois. Guess USC doesn't do well in that state, but those losses aren't anything to scoff at. They did beat Michigan pretty good, but they don't really have any other major wins so I'm not putting them over any of the other 2 loss teams ahead of them, but I am putting them above the 2 loss teams behind them (like Michigan), so to #25 they go. |
