NEMindex Through Week 13

The final rankings of the regular season still have Ohio State in the top 4 even after losing to Michigan this week.  They just swapped positions with that result. 

With conference championships coming this week, I think that USC may have the chance to jump into that top 4 with a win, thus knocking Ohio State out and setting up the 4 team playoff.  But, I'm hoping that that doesn't happen, cause I want my Utes to win their 2nd PAC-12 championship!  Utah is in their 3rd PAC-12 championship in 4 years (plus 2020 was a bust for everyone) and could be back-to-back winners.  They are currently 18th in my rankings here but another win over USC should bump them up quite a bit.  That win would put us in the Rose Bowl again and maybe put us against Ohio State again?  If USC wins and makes the playoff, I doubt Utah will get the Rose Bowl right?
