USC 2012 schedule:

Hawaii
Syracuse
@Stanford
Cal
@Utah
@Washington
CU
@Arizona
Oregon
ASU
@UCLA
Notre Dame

I cans see them losing to Utah, Washinton, Arizona, Oregon, and maybe Notre Dame. USC has trouble on the road and sometimes they have trouble at home against teams they shouldn't.

All five? Did you get hit on the head? Why don't you just say you hate USC and want them to lose?

Um, no...

Washinton

Since it is at Seattle, could be a tough game. Keith Price is solid for UW at QB. Plus, Sark is 2-1 against SC since taking over. Flip a coin here but they could win this one too.

Arizona

Sigh....

quote:

Oregon

Oregon is good but again, it's pretty winnable considering what SC has and not to mention being at home.

maybe Notre Dame

Doubt it....

USC started the season like an unranked 6-6 team and finished the season playing like a top 3 team.

The Trojans had a crazy amount of freshman and sophomore starters, and once they adapted to college play the team grew tremendously.

I would rank LSU #1, but USC does deserve consideration for a preseason #2.

The Achilles heel of the team is lack of depth across the board, being that scholarship limitations will be taking effect this season. If USC can keep healthy then they will probably have the most dangerous offense in the country.

The defense, however, loses basically its entire d-line, so how the new starters will perform is yet to be seen.

USC has 18 starters back from a team who beat Oregon on the road and barely lost to Stanford with a young team.

They have more back than anyone else, and they have the most important piece back with Barkley. They can make a run at it, but no one is even close to a sure thing

No I just mean I could see them losing to any of those teams. USC could be undefeated and then lose to Arizona on the road. Crazier shite has happened.

I think the toughest thing for both USC and Oregon next year is that they will have to beat each other twice just to get to the MNC game. And we all saw what can happen when you have to beat a good team twice.

LSU fans lost the championship game last night and they're already complaining about irrelevant polls with USC. LoL

I think LSU is winning the National championship next year. I don't know how USC can even be considered to be ranked higher.

Yeah, that sucks for both. Can easily see both coming out with 1-loss.

Not a USC fan by any means. Who cares if people are talking about them a lot? They are one of the favorites to be a top team next year. I never even said they would be my #1.
