Southern California moved into the top five of The Associated Press college football poll Sunday for the first time in five years.
The fifth-ranked Trojans edged up two spots after a thrilling. The last time USC was ranked in the top five was September of 2017, when it started at No. 4 but spent most of the season ranked in the teens before finishing 12th.
"If you would have told me at the end of last season I would be here now with this group of guys and being able to play for a championship, I would have called you a dead liar. Just being completely honest," USC fourth-year receiver Kyle Ford told reporters after the UCLA game. "I’m just so thankful for everyone on this team."
Georgia set a school record with its 10th appearance at No. 1 this season. Last year the Bulldogs had nine No. 1s, the most in school history. Southern California is a top-five team for the 283rd time in poll history. That’s seventh most, 13 behind Nebraska.Texas, again.
