USC-Oregon Unlikely In Regular Season
Pac-12's abbreviated schedule probably robs conference of marquee matchup
If the Pac-12 does not want to disrupt its schedule rotations, and indications are it does not, a USC-Oregon game is unlikely.
Why?
Oregon is expected to host a team for its crossover game: Arizona, Colorado and UCLA will play a road crossover game.
That leaves USC out of the picture with Oregon unless the teams play in the Pac-12 championship game.
If USC plays a crossover game at home, a possible opponent is Washington State. More good news for Clay Helton.
