The 93rd playing of the Notre Dame-USC rivalry carries extra weight, as the Trojans will look to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. Read on for our Notre Dame-USC college football picks and predictions.
Notre Dame improved to 8-3 and is in the midst of its longest winning streak (five games). The Fighting Irish have beaten three ranked teams and control much of which four teams will make the College Football Playoff.
USC (10-1, 8-1) would be eliminated with a second loss, which would also help Clemson's and Ohio State's resumes given that each team has played Notre Dame this year.
USC has won four straight games and has already clinched its spot in the Pac-12 Championship Game, but is looking to snap a four-game losing streak in this rivalry.
