Bill Oram: USC’s decline into the Meh of Troy is karmic justice for killing the Pac-12 So this is how it ends for USC, more than a century after the Trojans joined what would become the Pac-12 Conference and less than 18 months after they killed it.

Joe Freeman: ‘A win is a win,’ but Oregon Ducks could use a few style points to dazzle College Football Playoff committee Alabama is coming. You can see it. Texas is lurking. You can feel it. The Michigan-Ohio State loser is a potential problem. You just know it.

No, not for a one-loss team jockeying with one-loss traditional powers for a coveted spot in the College Football Playoff. Style points matter this time of year.

College Football Playoff committee to present '5+7' model, lowering number of auto-qualifiers, per reports Amid conference consolidation, the College Football Playoff is poised to alter its formula for granting automatic and at-large bids once the 12-team era of the playoff begins next season.

A splintering of the Pac-12 -- which will see at least 10 of the league's 12 current members depart after the 2023-24 academic year -- created a natural reason to revisit the CFP format...

3 Keys to Victory for the Oregon Ducks against the USC Trojans On Saturday night, the Oregon Ducks will take on the USC Trojans in Autzen Stadium for their first true home game under the lights of 2023.
