All the teams at the top of the standings won on Gameday #14, but that just means that USC took one step closer to its second straight championship. The Trojans (12-2) still lead by three games with four to play. USC only plays one contender in the final four games. UCLA is mathematically eliminated but after winning four in a row, the Bruins have gone from near-last to the top half of the leaderboard.
