USC has given up a lot of yards and points to the likes of ASU and Cal, but the toughest tests are still ahead on the schedule.
The College Football Playoff committee gave USC a gift on Tuesday.
With No. 12 UCLA and No. 20 Notre Dame on the schedule for Weeks 12 and 13, USC has the chance to add two ranked wins to its playoff resume. Three, if No. 6 Oregon beats No. 13 Utah next week and the Trojans face the Ducks in the Pac-12 championship game. Any speculation about USC’s playoff potential would be remiss if it ignored the current state of the defense. USC has given up 1,574 yards the last three games, and 1,012 the last two weeks to Cal and Arizona teams with a combined two wins in Pac-12 games.
