Where the USC Trojans stand in the Week 14 College Football Playoff ranking
The USC Trojans are ranked No. 17 in the College Football Playoff ranking this week following a 42-27 loss to the Oregon Ducks in Eugene.
That’s just a two-spot drop for the Trojans, who were No. 15 last week and had set themselves up with an opportunity to play their way into the playoff had they been able to notch a road win over the Ducks. And it’s a reflection of the Trojans hanging tough in a difficult environment and despite dealing with injuries on both sides of the ball.
USC has appeared in every CFP ranking this season, opening at No. 19 and then climbing to No. 17 the second week and then No. 15 last week.
