LOS ANGELES — (AP) — Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams is The Associated Press college football player of the year, becoming the school's first winner of the award since 2005 with his stellar debut season for the Trojans. Williams received 32 of the 46 first-place votes and 117 total points from AP Top 25 poll voters to win the award presented by Regions Bank. USC is enjoying its best season since the tenure of former coach Pete Carroll, and the Trojans now have their first AP Player of the Year since those glory days.

The finalists for the 2022 Heisman Trophy were announced on Monday.

All games are final and the votes are due. Here is a look at the leading Heisman candidates following Championship Week.

Caleb Williams tried to send a message to the Utah Utes for the Pac 12 Championship, but after the Utes blew out USC, they had some some trolling.

Will the Trojans be overmatched in the bruising Big Ten? Not with the recruiting skills and offensive brilliance of their coach.

After trailing by 14 points early in the second quarter, the Utah Utes absolutely throttled USC in the Pac-12 title game, likely shaking up the College Football Playoff.

No player was more important for USC, or potentially any college football team, than Caleb Williams this season, and the Trojans saw the bad side of that on Friday. USC lost the Pac-12 Championship Game and likely any hopes of the College Football Playoff in a 47-24 steamrolling by Utah, but only after a first-quarter injury that visibly hobbled Williams for the rest of the game. USC head coach Lincoln Riley told reporters after the game the issue was a hamstring injury that occurred on arguably Williams' best play of the game, a 59-yard run that set up a touchdown on the Trojans' second drive of the game. Usually one of the most elusive players in college football, Utah's pass rush started teeing off on him as he remained nearly immobile in the pocket. Williams' injury doesn't absolve the Trojans' performance in Las Vegas, though.

No. 11 Utah defended its Pac-12 crown with a 47-24 rout, dashing USC's CFP hopes and opening the door for Ohio State.

4 Southern California 47-24 on Friday night to win the Pac-12 Championship and put USC's College Football Playoff hopes in doubt. It also would extend the Pac-12's playoff drought — Washington in 2017 is the last team from that conference to make the playoffs. Utah (10-3) is heading to the Rose Bowl, but the Utes already were going there regardless of the outcome of the title game. who watched Southern California-Stanford in Santa Clara, California, in 2015___AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football and https://twitter.com/ap_top25.

No. 12 Utah pounded a limping, bloodied Caleb Williams on Friday and roared past fourth-ranked Southern California 47-24 to not only win the Pac-12 Championship, but put USC’s College Football Playoff hopes in question.

Utah overcame an early 17-3 deficit and stormed back to win 47-24 to capture its second straight Pac-12 championship. A two-loss team has never made the College Football Playoff, so the loss by USC may open the door for No. And at some undetermined point in the first half, Williams suffered an apparent left leg injury. And when the second half got underway, Williams could barely move in the pocket. USC went three-and-out on its first three second half possessions and Utah took its first lead on a major gaffe from USC’s much-maligned defense.

It's been a long time since a Pac-12 title game meant so much. 11 Utah for the conference crown at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Friday. With a win, the Trojans will reach the College Football Playoff for the first time in program history. Additionally, USC can win its first Pac-12 title since 2017. And on an individual level, quarterback Caleb Williams can further establish himself as the leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy.

As the calendar gets set to flip to 2023, a number of notable college football players will enter the transfer portal. Track the latest moves here.

The Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big 12 all have championship games this week with massive implications. RJ Young and Michael Cohen break it all down.

USC will be in Las Vegas on Friday night for the Pac-12 title game against No. 12 Utah, the only team to beat Riley's Trojans this season. “The outside world is going to say what they want to say, and we're 11-1 right now, so obviously it doesn’t matter. Coming back here this year, we’re making the wrongs right.”The offense was immediately transformed by Riley and Williams. A lot of people thought I was crazy, and that’s fine.”___AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

Lincoln Riley took over Southern California’s four-win football program one year ago this week, and he said his Trojans should be competing for championships right away.

They likely need only to avenge a previous loss to Utah in Friday’s Pac-12 title game to advance to the College Football Playoff. Lincoln Riley is a proven winner with a track record of helping elite quarterbacks squeeze the most out of their physical gifts. Not once since the inception of the College Football Playoff Rankings in 2014 had USC climbed higher than 8th. No one would have blamed Riley if he deemed his first season at USC a transition year. The right hire was always going to transform USC into USC again.

Michigan moved up to the No. 2 spot and USC moved to No. 4 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 college football poll on Sunday with the College Football Playoff nearly set.

Ohio State dropped from No. Michigan’s 45-23 victory was its second straight over Ohio State and the first over the Buckeyes in Columbus since a 38-26 win in 2000. 11 after it lost at Texas A&M and Oregon tumbled five spots after it collapsed in its loss to Oregon State. Ohio State (11-1)6. Oregon State (9-3)17.

Week 13 of the college football season featured a loaded slate, highlighted by wins from USC and Kansas State. Here are Saturday's top plays!

Entering Saturday, the USC Trojans needed some help to be considered as a College Football Playoff team - they got everything they wanted.

No. 5 Southern California capped its outstanding regular season under new coach Lincoln Riley by staying firmly in the College Football Playoff race with a 38-27 victory over No. 13 Notre Dame.

With USC leading 10-7 late in the second quarter, Williams had the option to hand to running back Austin Jones or keep the ball himself. Then on USC’s opening drive of the second half, Williams extended his team’s lead to 24-7 by doing the exact opposite. The Notre Dame defense had to respect his keeper so much that a handoff to tailback Raleek Brown basically went uncovered. Williams punted again in a similar situation midway through the fourth quarter and pinned Notre Dame back at its own 10-yard line. Receivers Tahj Washington and Jordan Addison punctuated the moment by approaching Williams and pantomiming placing a crown on his head.

Caleb Williams and the USC offense just could not be stopped.

USC had a 48-38 lead with 9:10 to go, but that lead quickly shrunk to 48-45 with 6:38 remaining. From there, it looked like the USC offense would be able to add to the lead yet again while eating up much of the remaining clock. It was the third interception of the game and the fourth turnover overall for Thompson-Robinson, who also lost a fumble.

C.J. Stroud, Hendon Hooker and Caleb Williams all flexed their muscles in the Heisman race. Here's where things stand after Week 11.

Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker now has the lowest odds at BetMGM to win the 2022 Heisman Trophy. Hooker is +100 to win the Heisman after Tennessee's blowout win over Kentucky on Saturday night. Hooker is 156-of-219 passing for 2,338 yards and 21 TDs so far this season and has thrown just one interception. Stroud is now at +175 to win the Heisman after he was at better than even money before Week 9. Heisman odds after Week 9Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker (+100)Ohio State QB C.J.

The Utah Utes decided to go for the win after scoring a touchdown with 48 seconds, and it proved worthwhile, as they took home a win over USC.

Cameron Rising threw for 415 yards, ran for three touchdowns and scampered up the middle for a go-ahead two-point conversion with 48 seconds left in No. 20 Utah’s 43-42 victory over No. 7 Southern California on Saturday night.

Cam Rising scored on a fourth down keeper with 48 seconds left and then ran in the game-winning two-point conversion in a 43-42 win for the Utes. Sixteen of his 30 completions went to TE Dalton Kincaid as USC struggled to cover Kincaid all evening. Kincaid had 234 yards receiving and a TD as no other Utah player had more than five receptions. USC QB Caleb Williams was 25-of-41 passing for 381 yards and five touchdowns and also had a 55-yard run early in the game. Williams looked a lot like the Heisman Trophy favorite he’s been throughout the season so far, but the USC defense just simply couldn’t stop Utah’s offense.

It wasn't a banner night for the USC offense, which had carved through opponents in the first three weeks of the season. But Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams put together a gutsy drive in the closing minutes to rally past a much-improved Oregon State team 17-14 in Corvallis. It capped an 11-play, 84-yard drive that included a wild fourth down conversion in which Williams was pushed by teammates to eke past the line to gain. Max Williams picked off Beavers QB Chance Nolan on the ensuing drive to seal it. That makes USC an incredibly +14 in turnover margin this season, which is a big reason they're 4-0 and off to a strong start in Lincoln Riley's first year as head coach.
