USC Football: College Football Writer Puts Trojans and This Big Ten Powerhouse in Top Future Matchups

We may soon have a new rivalry in the sport!

One of the biggest parts of the USC Trojans moving to the Big-10 Conference next season will be the future matchups between schools. The Big 10 is home to some of the biggest college football programs across the country, so we will be in for some great matchups each season.

The Trojans have always been one of the more historic programs in the sport, but now they will be playing in the biggest games each season. It will help their case for recruitment and the possibility of making the College Football Playoff.

No longer will they be forced to be in the watered-down Pac-12, so it’s a great move for all involved.

College football writer David Kenyon of Bleacher Report looked at the conference realignments across the country and listed some of the best future matchups to look forward to. One of which included the Trojans.

"On the other hand, you cannot tell the history of the sport without mentioning Ohio State, USC and the Rose Bowl. Sixteen times has Ohio State made the prestigious bowl; in seven of those contests, the Buckeyes took on USC."

Per David Kenyon of Bleacher Report

Both the Trojans and Buckeyes have been two of the more iconic programs across the sport. Whenever they have matched up, it has been one of the better games of that season. 

Due to their history, both schools fit the mold for a new big-time rivalry. The fans of each school will be circling the matchup on the calendar each season, and it will be a highly anticipated event. 

“But since that seventh Rose Bowl clash in 1985, the programs have played only a pair of home-and-homes and the 2017 Cotton Bowl. Soon enough, they'll regularly meet as Big Ten adversaries.”

Per David Kenyon of Bleacher Report

We will see these two teams meet regularly, and it will surely become one of the better rivalries in the sport. USC has a chance to become more of a powerhouse if it can find consistent success against teams like Ohio State.
