USC’s 2025 football schedule has been released and it’s clear that Games 5-8 will be the toughest stretch as the Trojans play at Illinois; host Michigan; at Notre Dame and at Nebraska.
USC concludes the season at Oregon and hosts UCLA.
The first two games are fairly embarrassing as USC hosts Missouri State, which makes its FBS debut and Georgia State, the return of Clay Helton. Lincoln Riley will be thrilled with those games.
But which games will Riley blow that most people think he will win?
USC plays just two games in October with two byes.

Agree, but 5-7 or 4-8 wouldn’t be out of the question

John Wooden: be quick but don’t hurry.
Georgia Southern, not Georgia State.

Notre Dame and Oregon look like sure losses while the balance is doable

Scoooter,
With 12 mercenaries leaving and who knows what SC will bring in, 6-6 is a very high number for wins.
