The USC Trojans can become the first team to confirm their spot in the College Football Playoff while avenging their lone loss of the regular season.
USC kicks off conference championship weekend in college football against the Utah Utes in the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday night in Las Vegas.
The goal is simple for the Trojans. A win gets them into the playoff in Lincoln Riley's first year as head coach and it likely wraps up the Heisman Trophy for quarterback Caleb Williams.
The Trojans were not outplayed in their regular-season loss on the road to the Utes and that should give them the confidence to take care of them at a neutral site.
