USC loses to Oregon State.
Other than suggesting that USC is more beatable than I previously hoped, I’m not sure it matters much. Barring anything too insane, Cal still needs to beat USC to play in the Rose Bowl. The old hope of Cal backing into the Rose Bowl via USC’s berth in the National Champonship Game is gone, but was there anyone out there who seriously thought USC was going to go undefeated? No, I didn’t expect OSU to beat them, but between Oregon, Cal, UCLA, and Notre Dame, I figured someone would give them a loss.
