USC Trojans are not among the top-ranked teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision heading into the 2024 college football season. However, Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports has shown more confidence in the Trojans, placing them at No. 17 in his post-spring re-ranking. This ranking is higher than what many other lists have predicted for USC.
One of the most interesting aspects of Myerberg’s rankings is that he has Michigan ranked just three spots ahead of USC at No. 14, indicating that the two teams are evenly matched. USC will face Michigan on September 21 in Ann Arbor, marking their first official Big Ten Conference game of the season.
Myerberg also provided some insights into Michigan’s prospects for the upcoming season. While he noted that they have talent to compete for the Big Ten title and potentially make a run for the College Football Playoff, there are question marks surrounding how they will replace key players and adjust to coaching changes.
In addition to Ohio State and Oregon, LSU is also considered a frontrunner to reach the Big Ten Championship Game. For more insights on rankings and upcoming matchups, readers can check out Fighting Irish Wire, Buffaloes Wire, Ducks Wire, UW Huskies Wire, and UCLA Wire.
