The early season surprise of the Pac-12 season lies in a battle between the USC Trojans and the Washington Huskies. However, the Trojans have the best claim as they have broke into both the AP and Coaches Top-25 polls thanks to three straight conference wins. The Trojans are led by a very balanced offensive attack as six different players average in double digits with Jordan McLaughlin being the go-to man averaging 13.5 per game. USC is the second highest scoring team in the conference thanks in large part to their conference leading 16 assists per game. Oregon got the better of the matchup last year as they won both games.
