Notre Dame visit the Trojan Horse at USC Saturday

On Saturday, two NCAA College Football powerhouse teams will collide as the USC Trojans host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

The USC Trojans and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are ranked no.3 and no.6 respectively. A win on Saturday will catapult them to the top of the food chain as far as NCAA College Football teams jockeying for a BCS Championship game is concerned.

This might not be the final piece of the national title puzzle, but it’s a huge one that’ll make everything else fit. The USC Trojans have their fate in their own hands. Currently ranked third in the BCS standings, they will move up to second, and into the BCS championship game against the Ohio State Buckeyes, if two of the four computers that have Michigan two and USC three, flip flop them.

All indications are that it’ll happen if the Trojans win out.

On the other side, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, no matter what happens against USC, is a lock to go to a BCS game, but even a blowout win likely won’t be enough to play for the national title considering Michigan won in South Bend 47-21 in mid-September.

In any event, this should be a great game between two tremendous teams in a rematch of one of the greatest games of all-time, last year’s USC 34-31 win on the famous Reggie Bush Push.

The Trojans overcame a tough 33-31 loss at Oregon State to win three straight including dominant blowouts over Oregon and Cal, but the skeptical public still wants to see more.

Notre Dame has yet to beat a team with a pulse since early September and is still looking for its first elite win, if you don’t give too much credit to the victory over Georgia Tech to start the season. With the program appearing to be on the verge of elite of the elite status again, a win in USC would get it there.

Who will win this Saturday’s huge NCAA College Football game? All Star Sportsbook has the odds.

USC Trojans -7

Notre Dame Fighting Irish +7

    [...] Theres no doubt about it. Michigan and Ohio State have proven themselves to be the best two teams in the country. USC however, has shown they can ball. Should USC be “considered” to be in the National Championship Game at all? Michigan already lost; should,  and will it be USC’s turn? [...]
