USC and Oklahoma top AP poll contenders despite upsets
Top-ranked Southern California and Oklahoma hold firm after a weekend of upsets as Duffy Daugherty wonders who is No. 1. USC would face bowl limits in the Rose Bowl while Oklahoma can claim a spot in any bowl but the Rose. Michigan State's Daugherty lamented USC’s strength after a 51-6 loss to his team. The field includes Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan, LSU, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Colorado, and Tennessee vying for No. 1 should leaders falter. Colorado’s 31-6 loss and Auburn’s 10-6 win over Tennessee reshaped the chase.
