Unleashing the Quack Attack: How the Ducks Plan to Silence the Trojans' Roar

The later we get into seasons, the more ranked matchups we tend to get. I suppose that’s a great idea from the schedule makers because teams can figure things out against easy opponents, then they can battle against tough ones. USC, in my opinion, has kind of flown under the radar this season. They are 8-2 and 6-1 in Big 10 play, and they are ranked 17th in the nation, but it feels like no one is talking about them. I partially wonder if that’s because they don’t have a great, or maybe realistic, shot at making it to the playoffs. I took the Trojans in their loss to Notre Dame, but looking back on it, it was certainly a mistake. I can say that with ease now because of the result, but I think it is also fairly clear that the Fighting Irish are substantially better than the Trojans. There are levels of how good certain teams are, and the Trojans are a tier below the College Football Playoff group. They probably will end up playing against a team like Texas in a good Bowl game. Their other loss on the season was also on the road, to a ranked opponent, as they fell 34-32 to Illinois. They’ve beaten Michigan and Iowa, both ranked at the time of play, so it isn’t like they can’t compete with good teams, but both of those were home games.
