USC rises to No. 20 in college football AP Poll following road victory over Nebraska
Our Summary
USC football has moved up to No. 20 in the latest college football AP Poll following a road victory against Nebraska. Previously ranked No. 23, the Trojans are among six Big Ten teams featured in the top 25. Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon maintained their positions at No. 1, No. 2, and No. 6, respectively. Michigan is ranked No. 21, while Washington entered the poll at No. 24. Iowa is just outside the top 25.
Notre Dame, which defeated USC in South Bend two weeks ago, climbed to No. 10. This development could be beneficial for USC, as a stronger performance by Notre Dame makes the Trojans' loss appear more respectable. USC's remaining schedule includes one game against a ranked opponent, Oregon, on November 22. The Trojans have three home games left against unranked teams, setting expectations for a potential season finish of at least 9-3.
