Lincoln Riley's faith in Jayden Maiava has USC in College Football Playoff hunt
For the second time in four years under Lincoln Riley, but for the first time since 2022, USC is entering late November with a top-15 ranking and a shot at the College Football Playoff. If the last year in the Pac-12 and the first year of Big Ten play were bumps in the transitional road, this season has marked a return to form for the Trojans in a new league.
As we prepare for Week 13 and a massive showdown with Oregon (3:30 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ Premium), the Trojans have a 6-1 record in conference play and are currently tied with the Ducks and Michigan for third place in the Big Ten. Riley's hiring sought to propel USC back to the center of the college football universe, and though the landscape looks much different than previous title-winning tenures in LA, the current outlook does have the Trojans where they hoped to be for the games that matter the most.

When Lincoln Riley first landed in Los Angeles, his audacious plan to remake a lacking USC roster on the fly revolved almost entirely around the transfer portal. The Trojans brought in two dozen transfers ahead of his debut season, including their top two running backs, three of their top four receivers, six starters on defense and, of course, a Heisman-winning quarterback.
The plan worked quite well for Riley and Co. at the time. USC won 11 games in 2022 and fell just short of the College Football Playoff.
