The top 3 teams in this week’s rankings took home conference championships, while USC fell to the Utes for the second time. Ohio St sat at home and snuck back into the top 4, and Clemson leaped over several squads following their impressive victory over the Tar Heels in the ACC Championship game.

Penn St remains my top-ranked 2-loss team as they continue to dominate everyone they’ve played with the exception of Michigan and Ohio St. USC rounds out the top 5 in this week’s Power Rankings.

There was no movement in the top 4 this week as Georgia, Michigan, Ohio St, and TCU all remained undefeated. Penn St impressed once again to become the highest-ranked 2-loss team, and USC now stands alone as the only Pac-12 team with a realistic shot at the playoff.
