USC Football is on the rise under Lincoln Riley and new general manager Chad Bowen, who has revolutionized Trojan recruiting and currently has SoCal Football in possession of the No.1 2026 recruiting class, featuring several 5-star and 4-star players, like cornerback Elbert Hill. Riley also hired Trumain Carroll from Kansas State to replace Bennie Wylie, upgrading the strength and conditioning program. These developments, combined with USC returning Makai Lemon, Ja'Kobi Lane, and Eric Gentry along with defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn, make me optimistic about USC's future in the Big Ten. I think the USC Trojans will win eight or more College Football games in 2025, and potentially compete for the 12-team college football playoff.
