USC baseball gains more NCAA Tournament projections heading into stretch run
USC baseball is currently on a roll. The Trojans have won seven consecutive series, and currently sit at 30-14 on the season heading into a massive three-game series with crosstown rival UCLA this weekend.
On Wednesday, Baseball America released its latest projected field for the 2025 NCAA Tournament. The projection has the Trojans in the field as the No. 3 seed in the Fayetteville regional.
The Trojans would travel to the state of Arkansas, where the top seed in their region would be the No. 7 overall seed Razorbacks. The No. 2 seed in the region would be UTSA, and the No. 4 seed would be Oral Roberts.
Under third-year head coach Andy Stankiewicz, USC is having its best season in years. The Trojans have not been to the NCAA Tournament since 2015, and have gone just once in the past two decades. This year, USC looks to be in great position to end the streak.
First, however, the Trojans still have three more Big Ten series in which they will need to take care of business, in addition to two more midweek nonconference games. After the Crosstown Showdown this weekend, USC will host Michigan State the following weekend, before wrapping up the regular season in Seattle against Washington. The Trojans will then travel to Omaha, Nebraska for the Big Ten Tournament at the end of May.

Ranking top 5 matchups based on the US LBM coaches poll
The 2025 college football season is fast approaching, and with it comes a season that could be full of surprises and intrigue. The US LBM coaches poll has given the casual fan a blueprint not just to the mindset of those within the college football landscape, but also a guide to what could be the matchups that could define the season at large. From early non-conference battles to the chaotic nature of the Big Ten, these five games will be the ones to watch this year, whether you are a diehard fan of these programs or just a neutral observer. 5. No. 6 Clemson vs No. 9 LSU, Week 1 The first Week 1 game on this list, this is also the matchup with perhaps the two most experienced QBs on this list. Cade Klubnik is coming off a breakout campaign and in his third year as the starter, has the second best odds for the Heisman. Garrett Nussmeier though, could be right on his heels. In his second season starting for the Tigers, if he follows in the footsteps of guys like Jayden Daniels and Joe Burrow, chances are LSU could make a deep run in the CFP. While certainly not the most mouth-watering Week 1 contest, Klubnik vs. Nussmeier is sure to please the neutral viewers. Get your popcorn ready for fireworks in SC. 4. No. 3 Penn State vs No. 19 Indiana, Week 9 As Penn State fans will soon see, their squad will be heavily featured on this list. That is the result of perhaps the most hyped-up preseason coverage the Nittany Lions have ever received. They have returned the bulk of their starters and a championship game appearance is expected, not desired. The first potential roadblock in that quest(at least on this list) are a pesky Indiana side looking to sustain their stunning success from last season. While Kurtis Rourke and Justice Ellison are no longer in Bloomington, Fernando Mendoza's transfer from Cal at the very least gives this Hoosiers squad yet another serviceable arm. Mikail Kamara's return after forgoing the draft also can be impactful on their defensive success. This game won't be a cakewalk for Drew Allar and after a game against the Buckeyes the previous week. 3. No. 3 Penn State vs. No. 7 Oregon, Week 4 Even before Penn State gets to that tough two-game stretch midseason, they have a bone to pick with with the team from Eugene. After losing in heartbreaking fashion in the Big Ten championship game, the Nittany Lions are out for revenge, and this time will have the home field advantage. Even more importantly, this is the Whiteout game and the first Big Ten matchup of the season for the team. Beaver Stadium will be electric, and the team are sure to be amped up by the atmosphere. Meanwhile, the Ducks may not be the same squad as last year, but if Dante Moore is just serviceable enough, then Oregon could cause Penn State some problems. Experience will matter a lot in this one and Drew Allar must prove he's ready to deliver. After a easy three-game slate to start the year, this game starts Penn State's trial by fire. 2. No. 3 Penn State vs No. 2 Ohio State, Week 8 Speaking of trial by fire in the Big Ten, this will still prove to be the Nittany Lion's toughest test. Penn State haven't beaten the Buckeyes in almost a decade, and it's beginning to take a psychological toll. They had perhaps their best chance last season to vanquish those demons, but poor red zone execution cost them late. This time around, they will have gained a bit of momentum with four Big Ten games under their belt and a potential home victory under their belt over Oregon. Most importantly, they have the slight experience at almost every position. That does not mean this will be easy sledding. Presumptive starter Julian Sayin still has the best WR corps in the nation to throw to and Caleb Downs will be marshaling one of the scariest secondaries Penn State will see all year. Allar and Co. must prove their mettle yet again here, because unlike against Indiana and Oregon, he won't have his home support behind him. 1. No. 1 Texas vs No. 2 Ohio State, Week 1 If this game didn't already have this much hype surrounding it, the coaches poll gave it all the prime billing. A rematch of the CFP semifinal where Texas was one play away from forcing overtime, but with new faces at the helm. The first game of the Arch Manning regime, and it's on the road in one of the most hostile environments in college sports. Julian Sayin looking to make himself a fan favorite and quick with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Neither team would want it either way. Ever since Sark's arrival on the Forty Acres, he has made it his mission for Texas to go anywhere in the country and take the scalps of big nonconference foes. He did it to Alabama 2 years ago and Michigan last year. If he can do it this year, with one of the most hyped QB prospects ever, Arch's legend will only grow. On the other side, Ryan Day will be trying to build off of his first ever championship while slightly retooling his squad throughout the year. While not the biggest game of their season, the Buckeyes are still looking to prove a point. It's anyone's guess how this will all turn out come August 30th.

Magic Johnson thinks Coen Carr can be the best player in the country if he adds one thing
This past NCAA Tournament, Coen Carr seized a spot in the Michigan State basketball starting lineup with some undeniable play on both ends of the court. You could even argue that he was the Spartans' best player in their run to the Elite 8, playing strong defense and shattering rims in transition. We've heard Tom Izzo praise Carr's development this offseason, which kicked off a hype train for the junior forward, now, Magic Johnson is adding even more fuel to that fire, saying that he believes Carr can be 'the best player in the nation' if he can add one thing to his game. In a recent interview with Ian Kress of WLNS, Magic Johnson said Carr can make that leap to being an All-American level player if he can just add a consistent mid-range jumper to his toolkit. Johnson would go on to say that he thinks that Carr isn't just the best dunker in college basketball, but he actually might be one of the best dunkers in the world, period, rivaling NBA stars like Anthony Edwards.

USC football countdown to kickoff—Travis Dye in focus
The countdown to USC's 2025 football season is officially on! The Trojans kick off their new campaign 26 days from today. You need something to help you while away the days and hours in the spring and summer. This is one way to do so. In this new series, countdown to kickoff, we will be counting down the days by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number. Today, we look at former USC running back Travis Dye. Position: Running back Years played at USC: 2022 Career highlights: Dye spent the first four years of his college career at Oregon—even scoring the game-winning touchdown in the 2020 Pac-12 Championship Game against the Trojans. Prior to the 2022 season, Dye transferred to USC for his final year of college eligibility. It did not take him long to make an impact with the Trojans rushing for over 100 yards in five of his first eight games in Cardinal and Gold. Unfortunately, Dye's USC career came to a premature conclusion when he suffered a leg injury during a November game against Colorado that ended his season. Without Dye, the Trojans took down rivals UCLA and Notre Dame, before falling to Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game and Tulane in the Cotton Bowl. Despite playing in just ten games for USC, Dye had a massive impact on the program, as his leadership played a key role in helping the Trojans improve from four wins in 2021 to 11 in 2022. Following his departure, USC was not the same caliber of team the following season. After USC: Unfortunately, Dye's injury prevented him from being able to work out at the NFL Combine, which likely hurt his draft stock. He was not selected in the 2023 NFL Draft. Dye signed with the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent, but was waived prior to the start of the regular season.
