USC football has clinched a place in the Pac-12 title game for 2020
USC football came into Saturday knowing they controlled their own destiny in the Pac-12 South. Beat UCLA and the division title would be theirs.
As it turns out, they don’t even need to do that.
When Utah beat Colorado early on Saturday, 38-21, they sealed the division title for the Trojans. Regardless of the outcome of the rivalry game, USC has won the South and will host the Pac-12 title game on Friday.
The conference championship will be played at the Coliseum against the champion of the north, Washington, unless the Huskies are still sidelined by COVID-19.
