In the Tositos Fedex Geico Chrysler Microsoft national championship game?
All kidding aside, I would like to hear some educated opinions.
I think it would be a great game.
Shoot...

I think this game is "too much set in stone" if you know what I mean. I think one of the two would slip up somewhere, but I could be wrong and I hope I'm wrong too. It'd be a great game.

This is what I'm hoping for with both at 13-0 after running through their schedules would be nice. Been wanting USC for almost 10 years now

I would like it to be but I don't think USC makes it.
Yes, I know that D. Thomas and L. James are gone from Oregon, Luck is gone from Stanford, that helps ya'll out but that kid from Washington could be a fit for you.
Your defense is good, not great. Barkley is a great QB though. Y'all were lucky to have him stick around.
If you make it great, I want that match up. Been wanting it for years.
Guess we'll see.

I think SC makes it for sure. If I was to pick another opponent, it would be LSU as of now.

LSU vs USC
maybe FSU, alabama, and oklahoma as a darkhorse, and michigan, georgia, WVU, clemson, or ??????? as really darkhorses.
You never know someone not on the radar could creep up and surprise us all, look at auburn 2010.

Would love it but still some tough hurdles for both teams. LSU has to get by Bama Arkansas South Carolina and probably UGA in the SEC championship game. USC's road is easier but still no gimmie having to play Oregon twice.

...been waiting for this rematch since '79. Bring it.

I've been wanting to play USC since 2003. So yeah, that would be fun to watch.

Honestly I think USC has a better shot of making to to Miami because their schedule is much easier than LSU's. I also dont see any legitimate darkhorse teams that could make a run to Miami. After LSU blows out bama on November 3rd it will be engraved in stone that LSU will play USC for all the marbles in Miami

Oh usc will be there, count on it! The powers that be have been chomping at the bit to get usc back to the NC game. And they would love nothing more than to put them up against the SEC. usc has a cake walk schedule, LSU has the regular SEC gauntlet & SEC CG to get through, so anything could happen there. LSU/usc would be an interesting matchup & a chance to finally shut up the left coasters!

I like our odds if it happens

SC is going to be very good this season.
That's not unusual though, as SC has been very good for the better part of the last decade.
What could make it a NC year for the Trojans:
Defensively, the squad should be solid
with several starters returning on a unit
that improved steadily as they gained
experience last season. There are
questions about a lack of depth on the DL.
Offensively, the passing game will be
electric. The O-line shows great promise,
if not great depth, and the Trojans are
filthy rich at WR (Lee, Woods, Farmer) and TE.
RB is fine as long as Moody McNeil stays healthy,
along with Soma Vainuku, who some think
could be another Stanley Havili at FB.
Then there's Matt Barkley, who is a game
changer at QB. Nuff said. Watch him work.
Special teams features a solid PK in
Andre Heidari, and a good P in Kyle
Negrete (backed up by Lake Charles native
Kris Albarado.)
What could ruin it all:
A poor performance in one or more
of the following games:
9/1 Hawaii
9/8 Syracuse @ Met Life Stadium, NJ
9/15 @Stanford
9/22 Cal
10/4 @Utah
10/13 @Washington
10/20 Colorado
10/27 @Arizona
11/3 Oregon
11/10 Arizona St.
11/17 @ucla
11/24 ND
11/30 PAC XII Championship
60% chance USC makes it (I think we lose 2; hope I'm wrong) 80% chance LSU makes it (must beat Bama, and in convincing fashion.)

If LSU is there I don't care who else makes it - well except for Bama, if LSU and Bama are both there again next year it damn sure better be LSU that gets the bullshite do-over
