7. USC
This matchup would’ve been more intriguing a few years ago when Lane Kiffin was Southern Cal’s head coach, but even with the two schools’ current setups, seeing the Trojans and Vols play would be must-watch television.
USC is one of the most storied college football programs in the country. Fans of pretty much every team across the country want to get a crack at the Trojans. But Vol fans haven’t seen the Big Orange take on the Trojans in over three decades. These two storied programs need a game, and they need it soon.
Interestingly enough, the Vols are winless against USC. In four meetings, the Vols have been outscored 102-24, most recently in a 43-7 beatdown in 1981. The two teams haven’t played since, but maybe it’s time for the Vols to seek some revenge on one of the most famous West Coast teams.
