By Josh Webb, Athlon Sports: Although the USC Trojans actually won their division and earned the right to play for a Pac-12 championship, COVID-19 protocols meant that Washington could not participate and their replacement, the Oregon Ducks, took their place and ultimately triumphed in the conference title game.
If it seems a bit petty to put it that way, college sports are nothing if not petty and phrasing it like this gives USC some internal motivation to improve and progress in 2021. Sometimes it’s about finding the right mantra for the season, and USC can play the “we belonged and they didn’t” card for themselves if it provides that extra motivation.
