Due_Connection179 10 Last Week #9 vs Arizona ( Won 43 - 41 in 3OT) I'm starting to hate this team. After their 56 - 10 win over Stanford week 3, I had USC up to #6 in my poll. Then the defensive wheels fell off. Going into halftime in a one-score game at Arizona State, then the defensive meltdown at Colorado, just to follow all of that with needing 3OT to beat Arizona (who for their credit played Washington very well) is why they keep falling in my poll. They cannot play like they did in the first-half of their schedule, and expect to be in CFP contention come November, with having 5 ranked teams in their final 6 games. Next Week at #20 Notre Dame ( 2.5 pt underdogs ) Prediction - wins and covers the spread
ewolfy13 10 They truly have no defense whatsoever. I honestly appreciate their commitment to the bit at this point

Hey_Its_Roomie 22 I cannot stress enough how underwhelming USC, AF, and Liberty's schedules are. They are the worst performances of any undefeated teams at the moment. While it isn't unusual to see a G5 team normally float here at this point in the season, the idea it's two and a P5 is quite surprising.

_TGT7 7 -2, USC without Caleb Williams is probably 3-3 with people calling for Lincoln Riley to be fired, but with him they can still beat anybody. Arizona isn’t a bad team, but USC’s defense has been particularly abysmal the last three games, and everyone knows how Lincoln Riley has done in the postseason. Notre Dame and Utah have really good defenses, which will be a challenge to USC.

Aggravating-Steak-69 10 The Trojans are 6-0 but it took a 2 point conversion in 3OT to beat a dwindling Arizona team which was enough to bump them down in ranking. QB Caleb Williams game came back down to earth with just 214 yards and 1 touchdown but the Trojan defense is as porous as ever and this game showed how USC fares when Williams doesn't go super human.

Prof_Pie 10 There was some odd play against Colorado and Arizona. I don't think this team is currently as great as people think they are, but there's definitely potential to go on an absolute tear in the latter half of the season. I'm looking for them to respond but so far, I'm only hearing crickets.

FlashSpider-man 11 For the third week in a row, they win in a game that was closer than it should have been. First, they take too long to put away a very bad ASU team, then they let CU back into the game, then they go to overtime with u of a. Their defense looks bad and their play looks bad. But, at the end of the day, they are undefeated.

PerfectZeroKnowledge 12 Every week I think they'll actually not look fraudulent for once, and every week they just look MORE fraudulent. The offense is still absolutely obscene when it's working, but the last few weeks are showing cracks even there. But if they can keep winning against the coming gauntlet, they'll be able to move right back up.

throwaway_6786 12 Well, they're 6-0 and their offense is still top-notch by any and all metrics. That being said, they've looked the least impressive of the undefeated P5 teams, and the only reason they stay at #12 after that performance against Arizona is because they're still undefeated. Now the schedule ramps up with a trip to South Bend to face ND. For their sakes, the Trojan defense better come to play.

SpencoDaMainMan 14 Similar to Alabama, USC does not look like a playoff team at all. Consistent struggles against middling teams is not a sign of success, and USC continues to make that their brand. They did not deserve to win this weekend, and against a brutal PAC-12 schedule I don't expect them to go far.
