With USC's victory it might play a small role in Iowa's week 1 to week 2 ranking bump. I think LSU will drop to around 18-20 range and USC will climb all the way into the top 15. This was a neutral site game but LAs Vegas is effectively a home game for USC as LA is only a couple of hours away from Las Vegas and pretty much a straight shot. I made that drive many times as a semi truck driver.
My final prediction, I think Iowa jumps Clemson, Texas A&M, maybe NC State and maybe Arizona as AZ had a fairly close game for much of the game against NMSU. With that said I think Iowa checks in at 19th or 20, probably 20 which is a significant leap
