1) USC at Cal
3:30 ET (ABC)
Memorial Stadium (72,981)
I know, I'm burying my lead. If this upset were to happen, it would be monumental. It's the biggest longshot this week, but given the recent history of the rivalry it could happen. Yes, USC has won 31 straight and has a virtually unstoppable offense. And yes, Cal does have three losses and is coming off a tough defeat at Oregon. But the Bears have a pair of terrific running backs in Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett who can help Cal control the ball and keep USC's offense off the field. The Bears have been a thorn in the Trojans' side lately, handing them their last defeat, two years ago in Berkeley. This game is also in Berkeley. Don't be surprised if the outcome is the same.
