ChBass 12 USC is still being held up by the Ohio State win, which seems to be buoying a few ranked teams. USC does have a top-15 offense, which helps.

2 Losses: Oregon, Wisconsin.
Another loss for the BYE week! Oregon loss and Wisconsin loss both loom large. That is why they sit behind Kentucky, Houston.

smartkeg 15 USC has put together a solid 7–2 season and belongs in this range. The Trojans have enough quality to stay ahead of the teams below them, although I don't see a compelling case for placing them above the teams with stronger statements.

sgtshenanigans 16 USC may have won the BYE week thanks to the losses in front of them. However the schedule/record for USC is looking rough. USC is in must win out mode in order to make the playoffs.

ResearchFlaky5912 16 After a bye, they naturally float up to fill the space made by the losers. I swap the Trojans and Hawkeyes after Iowa gets an additional win over a outside-looking-in team.
