If TCU loses next week, then loses the Big 12 title game. Michigan and OSU lose next week -- then they play each other the next week, so that would mean 1 of them would have 2 losses. The winner goes to the B1G CCG and loses to whatever 5 loss team the B1G West puts into the CCG, giving them two losses. Then all they need would be NC to lose a 2nd time, then Clemson to lose to NC in the CCG to get their 2nd loss.

Obviously with Oregon losing two last second nail biters to Washington and Georgia -- they'd get the nod over any other 2 loss team even if they don't win the PAC.

Uh, no. They done.
 
Yea USC really needs UCLA to not lose and be ranked as highly as possible before they play them. Them losing to Arizona would be a pretty big blow for USC

Aaaaaand UCLA loses. lol

It now comes down to how far the Bruins fall.

Also of some importance is if voters punish Notre Dame for the close call vs. Navy and how they perform next week vs. Boston College.

Right now, the biggest issue on USC's resume is no wins over a ranked opponent. They beat a couple of teams who were ranked at the time the game was played but have fallen out of the rankings.

If UCLA falls very far, USC beating them could knock them out of the rankings. Same with the Domers if they lose to BC and USC.

Honestly though, I expect USC will split these games, so I don't think it will end up mattering.
