No. 10 USC

I am going to go out on a limb and say the Committee selects USC over Oklahoma State after the Trojans annihilated UCLA 36-14.  It is easy to dismiss USC after the horrendous September, but they are playing really well right now.

Outside of Pitt and West Virginia, the Cowboys have played nobody this year and I think the Committee will keep them on the outside because of the strength of the Pac-12.
