The time is here.

With everything on the line, the USC Trojans and Utah Utes face off in the Pac-12 title game in Las Vegas on Friday night. If USC wins, the Trojans will secure a spot in the College Football Playoff.

If the Trojans lose, they most likely still end up in a New year’s Six bowl, so Lincoln Riley’s first year as head coach in L.A. is off to a smashing start. However, Utah is a tough team and the only team this year to defeat USC.

Back in October, the Utes stunned the Trojans as Cam Rising ran in a game-winning 2-point conversion in Salt Lake City to secure the win. The Trojans want revenge more than ever against the defending Pac-12 champions.

Here are some of the predictions from experts across the country.
