USC entered the season with high expectations and was one of the favorites to win the 2024 National Championship as they returned the reigning Heisman-winning quarterback, Caleb Williams, the Trojans started the season off at 6-0, however, they have now lost three of their last five games following last week’s 42-52 loss at home against the Washington Huskies which has dropped their record of 7-3 overall and 5-2 in the Pac-12, however, the Trojans are still alive for a spot in the Pac-12 Championship games as they only trail the Oregon Ducks by one game for 2^nd place in the conference making this matchup a pivotal contest. The offense continues to be a bright spot for the USC Trojans as they rank 2^nd in points scored per game this season with an average of 45.5 points, however, their defense has been one of the worst in college football this season as they are allowing 34.5 points per game and things won’t be any easier for the defense as they will face the best offense this season in college football when they travel to face the Oregon Ducks.

The Oregon Ducks are in the driver's seat for the Pac-12 Championship game but also for a spot in the college football playoffs as they currently rank 6^th in the College Football Playoff rankings with a record of 8-1 which includes a record of 5-1 in conference play with their lone loss this season coming on the road against the Washington Huskies by a score of 36-33, however, they can avenge that loss as both Washington and Oregon are likely to play in the Pac-12 Championship game this season. Following the loss against the Washington Huskies, the Ducks have gone on a three-game winning streak which includes last week's 63-19 win at home against the Cal Bears while covering the 26.5-point spread as a home favorite. Bo Nix has played a pivotal role in the success that Oregon has had this season and is on the short list of favorites to win the 2023 Heisman Trophy as he enters this game having completed 235 of 301 attempts for 2,723 yards with 25 touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing for 116 yards and five touchdowns.
