SBG Global Opening Line: USC  - 17.5  , Total  50

The two top teams in the Pac-10 get together on Saturday when #21 California visits #7 USC.  The Trojans have won a share of the last six Pac-10 titles.  Since getting upset by Oregon State, the Trojans have rolled over opponents including shutting out three of the last four.  That may not be saying much though considering Washington and Washington State are not much better than high school teams this season.  The BCS was not impressed either as USC dropped two spots after last week's win against the Huskies. SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking USC at Home.

California has won four of their last five including a 26-16 win over Oregon last week. Nate Longshore passed for 136 yards and a touchdown in relief of an injured Kevin Riley.  Longshore has not played well in his career against USC throwing four interceptions in two starts. "You need two quality quarterbacks, and you just can't say enough about those guys," California head coach Jeff Tedford said. "They're always out there competing and supporting each other. ... Nate is a veteran. He's been in a lot of games. Sure, coming off the bench is a bit new for him, but it was no big deal."  The Bears will probably have trouble regardless of who starts at quarterback against a USC defense that ranks first in the country in total defense.  Last year the Trojans won 24-17 over California and they have won four straight in the series overall.
