USC cracks top 10 in first College Football Playoff rankings

The first #CFBPlayoff rankings are out. See where #USC stacks up against #Oregon #Utah #UCLA and, of course, the top four.

The USC Trojans were placed at No. 9 in the season’s first College Football Playoff rankings, revealed on Tuesday.

There was a lot of discussion entering these rankings if Oregon or USC would be first. The Ducks are winning games by bigger margins and have a win over UCLA in their pocket, but they still did lose by 46 points to Georgia in Week 1 without scoring a touchdown. USC’s only loss was a one-point loss to Utah on the road, as impressive as a loss can realistically be.

Where did Oregon land relative to USC? Where did Utah and UCLA fall? What about the top four spots? Find out below:
