USC Football Preview from Saturday Sound Offs

Oct. 4 Oregon

Oct. 11 Arizona State

Oct. 18 at Washington State

Oct. 25 at Arizona

Nov. 1 Washington

Nov. 8 California

Nov. 15 at Stanford

Nov. 29 Notre Dame

Dec. 6 at UCLA

Okay, despite whatever I said about California and UCLA, this schedule is tougher.  When the easiest team you play on the schedule is Stanford (who beat you last year), it's never an easy slate.

The road game against Virginia will be a challenge and, oh yeah, not to mention, USC gets to face a L-O-A-D-E-D Ohio State team.  The Pac-10 schedule should be pretty hard, but at least they get to face Oregon and Cal at the Coliseum.

Don't Even Think About It: None 

Ehhhhh.....Maybe....: None 

Good/Probable Shot At It: The whole schedule.

THE OUTLOOK

This USC team should be good enough to get to the national championship game.  There's no reason why they shouldn't.  As long as Mark Sanchez doesn't do what John David Booty did (try to win the game on each and every throw), USC should be fine.

I do think they'll stub their toe once, but it won't matter.  In my unlikely scenario (remember, it's just a blogger's worthless prognostications), USC will lose the last game to Rick Neuheisel's revamped UCLA Bruins, but it won't stop them from getting to the title game.

This team isn't flawless, but they're about as close as it gets.

BOWL GAME?

BCS Championship.
