Milflover69cbb	16	Honestly one of the most underrated teams this season, little to no respect yet they’ve played really well on a week in week out basis
mountain_troop86	16	Model Rank: 19
MyAngelMiraidon	16	+8. Bit of an overcorrection due to previous weeks underrating Big 10 2-loss teams. By resume they clear Virginia but Texas and Louisville have 2+ ranked wins whereas they have one, thus being bumped up here.
NebraskaPlainsman	16
Neither_Call2913	16	With a loss to Illinois in week 5 and Notre Dame in week 8, USC is firmly out of the top 15. However, their more than two score win over Michigan in week 7 keeps them up in the mid-teens.
