This is a big leap, as Sagarin is the oldest and most esteemed computer ranking out there; SC had spent most of December and January between #30 and #40 in Sagarin, typically closer to #40.
USC is now squarely in the Top 30 of the three major computer models -- Sagarin (#26), The NCAA NET (#21), and KenPom (#18) -- heading into the big game against UCLA at Galen.
A win against UCLA will likely vault USC into the Top 20. A loss likely leaves SC squarely outside the Top 25 for at least a couple more weeks.
