This weekend marked USC’s second off week of the 2026 season. While the Trojans sat at home, however, the rest of the country was in action as part of a loaded college football slate.

On Sunday, the latest AP Poll was released. Despite not playing a game, the Trojans moved up three spots, coming at No. 15 in the rankings.

USC is one of six Big Ten teams in the top 25. Joining the Trojans are No. 4 UCLA, No. 6 Indiana, No. 16 Iowa, No. 18 Oregon, and No. 21 Ohio State.

USC will face both of the league's top two teams in the final three weeks of the regular season. The Trojans will visit Indiana this coming Saturday and face UCLA at the Rose Bowl on November 28. If USC can somehow win both of those games, the Trojans will almost certainly finish

the regular season as a top ten team.
