No surprise here, USC is likely going to take care of Stanford at home on Saturday night to close out the weekend for AP Top 25 teams.

The Trojans are one of the best teams in the country and I truly think that they’re the best chance for the Pac-12 to make the playoff, especially if Caleb Williams continues to dominate like he has.

The Pac-12 is very top-heavy this season but I can see the Trojans pulling off the conference title and heading to the playoff. This team just continues to dominate and I don’t see that stopping any time soon.
