I'm stunned that both Ohio State and Penn State jumped USC this week.
Ohio State, I can get because of how they dismantled Michigan State. i disagree that their resume is more impressive than the Trojans, but I can understand why you might think so.
But for Penn State to jump USC on the basis of a win over Northwestern? really?
I don't think so. Who is going to beat Oklahoma before the playoffs? Nobody. Either Clemson or Miami has to lose when they play each other. Actually Oklahoma is in the best position of any of the top teams.
