Weeks where UCLA won and USC lost came few and far between in the first half of the season, but they're becoming more regular since Tim Skipper took over. No. 20 USC took to the road to take on No. 13 Notre Dame and lost, 34-24, dropping out of this week's AP poll. The Trojans, however, did receive 97 votes.
UCLA's season looked lost after an 0-4 start. But suddenly the Bruins have become a fun, intriguing team to watch after two impressive victories.
