Randy's Pick
The USC Trojans have the talent to win this game, but they're still working some of their key guys back in from injury, and playing on the end of a back to back probably doesn't help. The Oklahoma Sooners are downright rolling right now on both sides of the ball, and their defensive effort has been no joke. I'm not sure if I want to step in front of Oklahoma given the current form. I like the Sooners to improve to 7-0 on the season.
Prediction
I predict the Oklahoma Sooners will defeat the USC Trojans by a score of 82-74.
