Last week: 45-7 win over Utah State

This week:Β at Stanford (Saturday, 5 p.m., ABC)

Comment:Β Lev and Rosenblatt each have Colorado at fifth, higher than USC. That's absurd. Absolutely absurd. Give me Juju and Adoree' and Zach Banner and half the Trojans roster over anyone on the Buffaloes roster. I'd take Banner 1-on-1 over Ralphie the Buffalo. USC will likely fall even further in my cohorts' eyes with road tests at Stanford and Utah the next two weeks, but then watch them reel off five straight and see who's laughing.Β
