ICYMI: With the clock ticking on the regular season, the USC Trojans of the Pac-12 lead the list of winners and losers from Tuesday night's release of the newest College Football Playoff rankings.
With the clock ticking on the regular season, the Trojans lead the list of winners and losers from Tuesday night's release:Being two spots ahead of No. 8 Clemson sends the message that USC would be able to keep the Tigers at bay with wins against the No. 15 Fighting Irish and the second-place team from the Pac-12. To make things as clear as possible, however, there's an argument for USC wanting to face No.
Based on the remaining schedule, it's very hard to see how the AAC champion isn't in the New Year's Six.The committee has respected No. 12 Kansas State throughout the ranking process, as shown by raising the Wildcats seven spots in the past two weeks following easy wins against Baylor and West Virginia. This has made the Wildcats the obvious second-place team in the Big 12, which will come into play should No. 4 TCU win the Big 12 championship, go unbeaten and finish in the top four.
