The USC Trojans do not play on Saturday, Sept. 14, since Week 3 is an off week for them. However, they will resume action against the No. 17 Michigan Wolverines next Saturday, September 21, at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.

The Wolverines defeated Fresno State 30-10 in their season opener before suffering a 31-12 loss against the No. 2 Texas Longhorns on Saturday. Michigan will be in action later in Week 3 when it hosts Arkansas State.

Nonetheless, Michigan and USC are highly-ranked Big Ten teams, so there will be a lot of focus on next Saturday's game. Here are the coverage details for that contest:

Can Trojans make it to the College Football Playoff this season?

As things stand, USC is in the mix to make the College Football Playoff. The Trojans are the 11th-ranked team in the country heading into Week 3 and could secure a playoff berth if they maintain that rank till the end of the regular season.

USC can likely secure a berth in the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff by winning the Big 10 title. However, there's still a long way to go in the season and Lincoln Riley's group needs to keep its winning momentum to remain in the playoff hunt.
