Who, if anybody, will beat USC this year during the season or a bowl game? Give your reasons if you want best answer.

During the regular season - Cal. Just watch the tape of the Tennessee game. Cal has speed and size and the game at home in Berkeley.

In a bowl game - Possibly LSU, but the Tigers' offense needs to pick it up dramatically (the 45 they scored against a very bad Mississippi State team was due more to 6 picks thrown by MSU QB's than it was to anything LSU did on offense). Their defense can keep them in, but USC's defense is underrated vs. some other teams, especially with the best linebacking corps in college football.

CAL.

reason= did you see them play?

AP State but seriously the only team that can't take down USC is USC.

GO U OF H
(university of houston)

I would say the huskers because of the fact the are at home and none of u USC homers know how loud that place is. Nebraska will be pumped for that game and they want to prove they are back. Restore the Order

I say the Berkley Bears. CAL will be at home.

The Trojans can only beat themselves , I am not a Trojan Fan but with the schedule they have and the talent level that is on that team as long as they do not get overconfident and look past their opponent like Michigan , they will probably run the table .

Cal, UCLA, Oregon, Arizona State, Oregon State and Nebraska would all be considered possiblities. The Trojans barely got past Washington and Washington State last year, and both teams could be improved. I don't see the Trojans as the juggernaut they've been advertised to be, but it's only been 1 game. The fact is that the rest of the Pac-10 is slowly catching up to USC.

ucla, or even notre dame since they will have nothing to play for but respect, upset there

I'm a bay area native and Cal has an avg. defense and will give USC a game but USC is the class of the nation. It will have to be in the championship game. ND is terrible and UCLA is good but USC won't take them lightly this time.

LSU is really good with great team speed. The QB will either lead them or cause them to not quite make it.

Oklahoma is extremely talented with maybe the fastest overall team in the nation with the best OL, great RB's and WR's. If their QB plays well, they can stay with USC. Oklahoma also has the best DB's in college and fanstastic LB'S. USC is awful good though.

either Cal or Nebraska but Im sure if its not one of those teams they will lose a game.

I think Nebraska has a very good shot at it. Nebraska started out a little slow against Nevada, but when they got going.......WOW! I'm a Horns fan and I'm a little nervous about the way the Huskers are looking this year. Also, I read that USC had to convert five 4th downs to get the score as high as they did against Idaho. Nebraska looks good to hand USC their first defeat. After that, if Cal continues to play like they did against Tennessee, USC may very well lose again. You asked for opinions, this was mine.

three teams.......

Cal, LSU, Florida.

UCLA and a coupla others could pull an upset if USC gets complacent like last year. USC, like a lot of power schools, can also be their own worst enemy.

of course USC could also beat all of these guys....if they remember to bring their A game. And hey, I can always hope for a freakin miracle, and somehow have Notre Dame pull off the win...............maybe in 2015 or so.

But I think your biggest fight will be Cal. If they play like this all season..........damn.

Cal....conference opponent and big underdog....tends to happen every year in the pac 10....ucla beat them last year this year California will

is APPALACHIAN STATE, on their schedule? no?
then, I guess it would be NEBRASKA or, CAL.

Oregon and Cal. I think that USC will NOT finish this season undefeated, they WILL fall to one of these two.

i dont care who as long as they get beat

none or
an unscheduled game v. Applachia State

Nebraska

Just about anybody in the SEC.

Because I said so.
