USC

The team no one is talking about is Southern Cal.

The Trojans won the Pac-12 championship with two losses. Unfortunately for the western part of the United States, I just don’t see USC sneaking into this one.

Why would they get in ahead of Bama or Ohio State?

They have a pretty impressive resume, but I just think the blowout loss to Notre Dame- who proved to not be a top-tier team- presents too much of a blow to the Trojans’ resume.

So, how does Clemson matchup?

I would love to see this game in a semifinal.

USC doesn’t have the depth that Clemson has. They have a really good quarterback in Sam Darnold.

It would be a good game that, in the end, the Tigers would come out on top by probably around 10-20 points.
