The month of November is officially here. And with it, that means we have now entered the home stretch of the college football regular season.
On Tuesday, the second College Football Playoff rankings of the year were revealed. USC rose two spots from last week, coming in at No. 18.
The Trojans, who did not play this past weekend, moved ahead of Ole Miss, Ohio State, LSU, and Missouri, who all suffered losses on Saturday. However, they were jumped by Oregon and South Carolina, despite both schools having three losses to USC's two.
Fortunately for the Trojans however, they will have two opportunities to beat top ten teams in the next three weeks. If USC can find a way to win both of those games, the Trojans will almost certainly be in the playoff.
