SC has two conference losses, if they can beat Oregon they should be in drivers seat for #2 spot and another shot at UW. TSIO as far as playoffs for them but there is still a conference championship and alot of foosball left.
I just don't see USC beating Oregon on the road. The offenses are comparable but USC's D isn't very good and they've lost 3 of their last 4. Junior Seau and Ronnie Lott ain't coming through the door anytime soon.
Oregon might win something like 77-49. The best thing to come out of that game for UW will be that Irving and James are going to rack up some mileage on their legs.
The only chance USC has (besides Lanning screwing things up and some lucky bounces) is doing whatever they can to stop the run. It seemed like their secondary is pretty talented but had communication issues so if they can shore that up with a change in coaching, they might rise to the occasion.
I don't know if that means running a true 3-3-5 or even a 3-4 at times but their light front is a disaster.
