We’ll return to our regularly scheduled poll programming in a second.
First, before you officially start checking out on Mel Tucker’s Year 1, a stat: In the six weekday football games since Sept. 1 involving Pac-12 teams, the favorites coming into those Thursday or Friday contests wound up going just 3-3 straight-up.
Bonus: The underdogs coming in for those six games have put up a 5-1 record against the spread.
We mention this because USC (4-3), according to OddsShark.com, is a consensus 13-point fave at Folsom Field against the CU Buffs (3-4) on Friday night.
