Bud's win total projection: 8
Brad's best bet: Over; Bullish on the Trojans. You heard right. USC has a shot at winning 10 or more games in Riley's first season thanks to a near complete roster overhaul, beginning with Heisman candidate Caleb Williams at quarterback and several other immediate impact transfers. We could see a scenario in which USC enters the final two weeks of the regular season at 8-2 overall, needing a victory over UCLA or Notre Dame to hit the over and cash. The trip to nationally-ranked Utah in October is USC's toughest matchup before the final home stretch.
