With the college football playoff expanding to 24 teams, there is a new regular-season scheduling requirement that goes against what USC and Lincoln Riley have been doing.
Teams will be expected to play nonconference games against Power 4 teams or Notre Dame. USC has games against Nevada and UNLV next year. It also plays Fresno State in 2028.
USC will be calling Cal and Stanford to try and get some easy games that meet the requirements.

At least Riley hasn’t scheduled Merrimack , yet.
