A chaotic USC season that at one point seemed anything but in control suddenly offers a clear path for the Trojans.
USC, which has surged to four consecutive victories under interim Coach Clay Helton, can win the Pac-12 Conference South Division title if it defeats Oregon and UCLA.
USC's 27-24 victory over Colorado on Friday night kept the Trojans in the hunt for the title, and Utah's 37-30 two-overtime loss to Arizona on Saturday night moved USC into a first-place tie with two games left.
