California faces USC on 11 November 2026 in the NCAA, with the Pythia model designating California as the clear favourite at 81% probability of victory, a rating driven by their undefeated 3-0 record and an average of 95.0 points per game while allowing 74.7, placing them 70th in the league; USC, meanwhile, holds a 2-0 record with 94.0 points per game and 74.5 allowed, ranking 76th. California has won all three of its home games, scoring 95.0 per outing and conceding 74.7, and has triumphed in three of its last five, including a 115-86 win over Adams State; USC has secured one road win in its sole away game, scoring 93.0 and allowing 86.0, and has won two of its last five, highlighted by a 93-86 victory over Wichita State. Historically, USC leads the series 7-2 and most recently defeated California 71-66 on 17 November 2024. The model projects a 84-75 scoreline for a 159-point total, with California covering the 7.5-point spread at 93% and an over probability of 46% on the 160.5 line, while the chance of overtime stands at 4%. The next game will see California maintain its hot streak against a USC side still finding its rhythm.
