That schedule strength could end up killing them but probably won't. If two of these teams Oregon, Va Tech, Miami, Okla,Ohio ST, LSU, Tenn or FLa State go undefeated USC will have a tough time getting into the NC game. All of these teams will probably play someone in the top 10 and get bonus points for it, USC is going to have a tough time finding someone on their schedule that is in the top 20 by the end of the year let alone top 10.
