UCLA Over USC? Utah Edges Out BYU? Klatt Predicts Who's More Likely to Make CFP

UCLA’s path to the College Football Playoff took a clearer shape after their win over Oregon, but the Bruins’ rivalry with USC adds a layer of intrigue. With quarterback Nico Iamaleava sidelined for the season due to a knee injury, UCLA’s offense will rely heavily on running back Wayne Knight and a strong ground game.

Despite the setback, UCLA’s schedule remains manageable, and their recent performance suggests they could be the more likely contender from the Pac-12. Meanwhile, USC’s victory over Penn State showcased a more dynamic offense, with Jayden Maiava and Trent Mosley leading the charge, but their remaining schedule poses significant challenges compared to UCLA’s.
