It all comes down to Saturday.
For the first time, the USC Trojans are eligible to compete in the Pac-12 Championship Game since being served their two-year postseason ban in 2010. Meanwhile, the Stanford Cardinal enter the contest having competed in two of the conference's four title games, winning in each of them.
David Shaw and Co. will also look to extend the North's four-game winning streak in the conference-deciding bout, after Oregon claimed last season's match. On the flip side, the Trojans will look to avenge their early season loss at the hands of the Cardinal in the Coliseum.
