Reply To: Holy crap has anyone seen USC schedule 2026?

I don’t think this roster had the talent or depth for 11 wins.  To get to 11 you’d have to win all they did win their bowl.  And win against Michigan Illinois nd or Oregon.

possible but with them rebuilding their D in 2024 and going 6-6 or whatever I don’t see a jump to 11.  A jump to 10 is great.

next year if they went 9-3 it would mean going .500 against Oregon notre dame Washington Ohio state Indiana and Penn state.  And probably anyone would take that.  I also think if you go 9-3 w that schedule you’re a playoff team.    I don’t think USC.  Or anyone else that I can remember.   Maybe Florida one year.  Ever faced a schedule like that.  I think that Florida team went 3-8.

either way they have bodies coming in and 2026 is a little soon for them to be expected to all contribute. But this year we see Hines.  We see the miller brothers.  We see Stewart. And we see a couple redshirt frosh corners.

so next year it wouldn’t surprise me to see sermons.  Feaster. And Pepe get playing time.  And also one of either bowman.  The jc tight end or that kid who was the top tight end in Oregon who is 3rd string right now.  One of them will be the second TE.  Who is the key to the USC offense the way it’s run now.
