USC will not be favored V Michigan and ND.

ND is on the road.

Michigan is at home but is a more talented roster.

USC has not beat the spread in EITHER of their real games.  B10 contests.  On the other hand, they have played a road game.  Many haven’t.  This weekend will be huge because it’s another road game.  A chance to suddenly be 3-0 in conference with two roadies. Also before a bye.    A road win and a bye week with other teams losing would elevate USC about 5 or more spots in the rankings over a two week period  They could be 5-0 and Top 15 headed into ND.
