The Trojans saw some movement following their dominant win over Washington State (38-13). In the committee's first release (week 13) USC ranked at No.18, however, they dropped to No.20 last week following their canceled game against the Colorado Buffaloes. This week the Trojans jumped up to the No. 15 spot - surpassing Iowa, North Carolina, BYU, Texas and Pac-12 team Colorado. 

The Colorado Buff's were the only other Pac-12 team to make the list at No.21. The Oregon Ducks who placed at No.15 (week 13) and No.23 (week 14) did not make the Top 25 ranks this week. This was likely due to Oregon losing back to back to Oregon State (41-38) and Cal (21-17).

The College Football Playoff Selection Committee will release two more sets of rankings. Next Tuesday, December 15th will be the last release before selection day on Sunday, December 20th.
