I was kind of hoping they'd wait for Utah-USC at the Coliseum...
Now, if you look at the schedule, it's looking less and less likely that USC can get Herbie and the gang to one of its games. I would have said Oregon in the preseason, but that's not happening now. ND is always a long shot because it's an NBC game, and now they've lost. I doubt they'll do two Utah games in three weeks (the SEC would riot). Zona and Colorado aren't going get ESPN fired up. If Cal can beat Utah and USC rolls in there with a matchup of a one-loss SC team (assuming a win against Utah) against an undefeated Cal group, that would still probably not happen because Cal would have been covered three weeks earlier.
That leaves UCLA, which already now joins us as a one-loss team, and that's on a weekend that features all the other big rivalry games, so it would probably take both teams winning out AND be the defacto PAC 12 semi-final to determine the South champ to have a shot.
