Pac-12 Championship Game: #12 Stanford v. #10 USC

Post by Greenblood »

Since the thread on the Autzen board is mainly concerned one's pick to win, I thought there could be this one to get into the game in more detail, comments during the game, etc.

I have to think USC will win, unless they have a key injury disadvantage I'm not aware of. It's not so much that USC thoroughly dominated Stanford when they met early in the season, as I think the Cardinal is much better now than it was then; it's more that bye week advantage that USC has. I'm pretty sure it's never happened before that either divisional winner had a bye just before the Pac-12 CCG like USC has this time. And because it's on a Friday, Stanford also has a short week to prepare to boot.

Both teams are playing well. I'd love to see Stanford win a tight one, as I'm thinking that could still keep both teams slightly ahead of UW, whose ranking I want to be as low as possible so it doesn't make a NY6 bowl. But I'd be surprised and very impressed if Stanford were able to pull this off.

USC should win. Although Bryce Love is always dangerous and fun to watch, so wouldn't write off Stanford either solely because of him.
