LOS ANGELES — USC moved up two spots to No. 4 in the fifth set of the 2022 College Football Playoff Selection Committee Rankings on Tuesday.

A top-four ranking puts the Trojans (11-1, 8-1 Pac-12) in position to make their first College Football Playoff appearance. USC will face No. 11 Utah in Friday's Pac-12 Football Championship Game (5:00 p.m. PT/FOX), two days before the final rankings are released.

Lincoln Riley's 11 wins ties for the most by a USC head coach in his regular season debut, matching the 11 wins by Howard Jones in 1925 and John Robinson in 1976.

Leading Heisman candidate QB Caleb Williams continues to impress the nation with his dazzling performances. Through 12 games, Williams has 44 total TDs and 3 INTs. He is 268-for-407 (.658) for 3,712 yards. He has also rushed for 351 yards on 97 carries with 10 TDs.
