There’s more on the line in USC and Notre Dame’s rivalry game in 2022 than just the Jeweled Shillelagh.
The Trojans still can win the Pac-12 championship with just one loss this year, meaning they are still alive in the College Football Playoff race. That’s especially true after then-No. 5 Tennessee suffered a shocking 63-38 loss to South Carolina, moving Lincoln Riley and Co. up to No. 6 and within striking distance of the CFP with just two weeks remaining before the final rankings are unveiled.
The first obstacle to making the CFP for the first time is No. 15 Notre Dame, which has experienced perhaps one of the best in-season turnarounds of any team in college football this season. Marcus Freeman has turned the Fighting Irish into a dangerous team, going 8-1 after a shocking 0-2 start that included an upset by Marshall.
Now, will Freeman and Co. continue that miraculous turnaround? Or will Riley and that high-powered offense put an end to the Fighting Irish’s feel-good story?
