It's the USC Trojans' conference now, Oregon and Oregon State continue to slide

Here are my three takeaways from the weekend in college football ...

-- USC is really good. The Trojans showed no obvious weaknesses while beating Washington before a sold-out crowd in Husky Stadium.

I know USC started the season 1-3, but that was then. With quarterback Sam Darnold slicing and dicing and the Trojans' defense locking down, this is the best USC team since Pete Carroll left town.

-- I don't know how the Oregon Ducks pull out of their current nose dive. A program that played for the national title just two years ago is 3-7, with the seven losses coming in Oregon's last eight games.
