I'll take a stab clover... Bama is the better team no doubt but if there's a pac 12 team that can somewhat matchup in terms of athleticism it's probably USC. That being said, huge coaching mismatch and the bama defense has a big time edge here. My only concern is whether or not Alabama can truly pull away this first game as both teams are searching for qb answers and you don't just replace derrick Henry lol. I think this game may be a little closer than anticipated, with the hype usc offense may be able to move the ball a little and I'm trying to figure out when Alabama catches its stride offensively. I believe it's going to be a scrappy, almost ugly scoring affair. Alabama wins 23-19
