USC is one win away from going to the College Football Playoff for the first time in history.
That’s what became clear on Tuesday when the CFP released its penultimate rankings. The Trojans moved up two spots from No. 6 to No. 4, putting USC in the projected field for this season’s four-team playoff.
No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 TCU round out the current playoff field.
The latest rankings make things clear for USC entering Friday’s Pac-12 championship game in Las Vegas: Beat No. 11 Utah and improve to 12-1 on the season, and earn a playoff spot for the first time since the format was introduced in 2014.
