This actually appears to be a bit of a tougher schedule than usual for USC. It's not Big XII or SEC quality, but it's not a patsy Big East type schedule either. Arizona is on the way up, Cal has one of the best players in the country, Oregon is always tough, especially at Autzen. Notre Dame is getting a lot of hype and has some talent, and it's on the road... you never know. And then the game @ Ohio State will most likely be a dogfight. Second game of the season, with a new QB, on the road in one of the toughest environments in college football. Ohio State with a talented mobile QB that USC's defense always struggles with (Vince, Dixon, etc).

I'm going with 2 losses. One hiccup in conference play, and a loss to Ohio State.

Looks like I'll be pulling for both OSU and ND in a game again this year

Here's to hoping for 3 losses.

 

[JimEverett]

I think they make it unscathed.

 

[SaintMeaux]

I originally thought they'd lose @Cal and either @Oregon or @ASU, but now I'm thinking they'll lose @Ohio State and one conference loss.

So basically, what LC said...

 

[JOElittleBIGhorn]

2 Losses.

@tOSU
@Cal

 

[Treybad]

loss @ OSU and Oregon or Notre Dame

 

[SeminoleMarine]

Unrealistic and wishful thinking.......0-12

Seriously......I can see 2 possibly 3 losses.

They'll drop one or two amongst Ohio State, Oregon, OSU, Arizona, ND, maybe even Stanford, who I think will be better than advertised. Still, they'll win the Pac-10 again and probably win another Rose Bowl.

that is one easy schedule 11-1 or 12-0

It isn't the toughest but it isn't easy by any means.

Ohio State, ND, Cal, Oregon all away is not easy.

Undefeated. The favorite to play UF in the title game. I think USC makes it, but UF misses out.

 

[AlexV]

Soft schedule they should be ashmed if they lose a game with im sure they will. Every team they play are over rated every year.

 

[Holden]

I think they make it unscathed.

yeah, that schedule doesn't scare me if i'm usc. ohio state is the only challenge and that's just because it's a road game.
