USC still has a rivalry game against UCLA next week and a bowl game sometime in December, but the meaningful portion of the Trojans’ 2025 season came to a close when Oregon put the finishing touches on a 42-27 win in Autzen Stadium and knocked USC out of the College Football Playoff picture.

A wild Week 13 in the Big Ten led to a number of changes in the conference power rankings, including a new team at the No. 4 spot.

Starting safeties Bishop Fitzgerald and Kamari Ramsey each missed Saturday’s game against Oregon due to injury.
