The Alabama Crimson Tide are still the favorites at +600 to defend their
National Championship, but the competition is closing in, and the
Crimson Tide could easily get knocked off their perch this Saturday (8
PM ET, ABC) when they play the USC Trojans at AT&T Stadium in
Arlington, Texas. Oddsmakers have the Tide as a 12-point favorite and
the total is sitting at 52.

At press time, USC are 12-point underdogs against Alabama and +3300 to
win the title, but they couldn't ask for a better situation to face the
Tide. Head coach Nick Saban still hasn't figured out who his starting
quarterback will be this season; Cooper Bateman will likely get the nod
against USC, with Blake Barnett getting some work, too. The Trojans will
also be happy to play Alabama on neutral ground.
USC are No. 20 on the preseason rankings for 2016 after going 8-6 SU and
6-8 ATS last year. They could have betting value on Saturday as a
rising program under second-year coach Clay Helton, having played
largely out of the national spotlight since Pete Carroll left to join
the Seattle Seahawks after the 2009 campaign. However, senior LT Chad
Wheeler won't start for USC because of an injured foot, and could miss
the game entirely.
