USC falls to No. 12 in US LBM Coaches Poll after Rutgers debacle
USC's game against Rutgers was so bad that the Trojans dropped in the US LBM Coaches Poll despite winning
In the latest US LBM Coaches Poll, USC Trojans have fallen to No. 12, sliding one position from the previous 11th spot. The decline is attributed to their disappointing 42-35 victory against Rutgers. Currently, Oregon Ducks occupy the 16th position, placing them four spots behind USC. The upcoming Saturday's matchup between USC and Oregon is considered a pivotal game in USC's season and during the tenure of head coach Lincoln Riley.
A win against Oregon could enable USC to secure a 10-2 record, potentially securing a spot in the College Football Playoff. Conversely, a loss to Oregon would not only be a significant setback for USC but also a blow to Oregon, as they would accumulate a second loss and face a daunting challenge in their remaining schedule, which includes games against Ohio State and Indiana.
The prospect of a USC victory over Oregon is highly anticipated, but history has shown that such an outcome is far from guaranteed.
