Taylor Henry: USC. Darnold is a freshman this year, and he'll be even better next year. I get the feeling Adoree and JuJu will be back too. I think they want to chase a national title. I would argue they're the favorite to win the conference, not just the biggest challenger.
Gabey Lucas: Yah I'd go USC too, with Stanford and CU as dark horses. I know it's cliche to pick USC, and it feels like people are always saying "this year is their year" but that's essentially all based on potential, which they then go ahead and never reach the next season.
