D.J. Uiagalelei was once the most sought-after quarterback in the nation, a five-star recruit and can't-miss prospect who ultimately chose Clemson to presumably pick up where Trevor Lawrence left off and lead the Tigers back to the top of the college football betting landscape.

We address four issues in today's Pac-12 notebook. We are stating at the start that we believe USC will be one of the four teams in the College Football Playoff if it beats Notre Dame on Saturday (no sure thing) and wins the Pac-12 championship game (no sure thing). That would be an impressive double, because the Irish are up to No. 15 this week…

Eight Pac-12 questions to address this week with just one game left: . Is there any way that USC would NOT make the College Football Playoff if it beats Utah in Friday's 5 p.m. Pac-12 championship game in Las Vegas?
