No. 5 Notre Dame will travel to Southern California on Saturday to face USC on CBS. This matchup will mark the 95th all-time meeting between the historic programs. The two rivals have played each other every season in football since 1926, except during World War ll (1943-45) and the COVID-19 shortened season in 2020.
The Fighting Irish have turned around their season since suffering a loss at home to Northern Illinois in Week 2. Notre Dame enters this matchup on the cusp of securing an at-large berth to the 12-team College Football Playoff after winning its last nine games. With wins over Texas A&M, Louisville, Navy and Army on Notre Dame’s résumé, a win over USC would almost guarantee an at-large berth. The Irish are currently a -650 bet to make the CFP, according to Caesars.
USC has won three of its last four games after starting 3-4 and became bowl-eligible with a win over UCLA last weekend. Before the Trojans’ showdown against Nebraska earlier this month, coach Lincoln Riley made a quarterback change, electing to bench Miller Moss in favor of UNLV transfer Jayden Maiava. USC has won both games Maiava started.
