USC remains at number 14 in AP Poll after Fresno State victory

The USC football team held its position at No. 14 in the latest AP Poll released Tuesday. This ranking follows the Trojans' 39-0 victory over Fresno State at the Coliseum last Friday. The win brought USC to a 2-0 record for the 2026 season. Despite the shutout win, the team did not rise in the poll from its preseason ranking. Seven Big Ten programs currently appear in the top 25, including No. 1 Ohio State and No. 5 Indiana. Michigan was omitted from the AP rankings following a loss to Western Michigan. USC is scheduled to return to the field Saturday night at the Coliseum against Louisiana. Kickoff for the contest is slated for 8:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Big Ten Network.
