    I'd take USC, something in the range of 49-21.

    You might as well edit this now to put the 25 in front of SJSU that we all know is coming on Tuesday.

    We're ranked, baby! First time in 8 years!

    OK, gamblers and gambling historians. When's the last time the lower ranked team has been favored by ≥ 10.5 in an (officially) neutral-site game? Can't be all that common, can it? That's the margin by which the Fighting Dabos are favored to beat ND.

    Actually, Oregon-Colorado is at the Coliseum on Saturday night. If COVID issues arise with either team playing in the championship on Friday night, Colorado would replace USC and Oregon would replace Washington.

    Should both USC and Washington have issues, the championship game then would default to Colorado against Oregon.

    College football's version of "who's taking who to the senior prom."

    Washington can't play, so Oregon will take its spot in the P12CG. What a farce of a season.

    And no opponent for Colorado unless they can find a nonconference game, though the Buffs have to be on standby in case USC can't play.

    The last time Iowa State won a conference championship was back in '12.
    1912.

    I'll go ahead and step on this grenade.
    Florida beats Alabama.
