USC has produced six No. 1 overall NFL draft picks, more than any program, 87 first rounders and more than 530 total selections. Makai Lemon went 20th to Philadelphia in 2026, and the Trojans lead the sport in picks since the common draft began.
Every USC bowl game with scores, from the 1923 Rose Bowl through the 2025 Alamo Bowl. Thirty four Rose Bowls and 25 wins there, both records for any school in any bowl, the vacated 2004 Orange Bowl, and the 2005 Rose Bowl loss to Texas.
USC is 886 wins, 375 losses and 54 ties all time, a .694 percentage, with fourteen wins the NCAA removed. The record, the four coaching eras that produced it, the sixteen years of drift since Carroll, and how close 900 is.
The Coliseum holds 77,500 for USC football after a renovation cut it from 93,607, and its record football crowd of 104,953 dates to a 1947 Notre Dame game. Two Olympics with a third coming, Super Bowl I, and a century of Trojans home games.
USC won 37 conference championships in the Pacific Coast Conference and the Pac-12 and its predecessors, twice as many as any other West Coast school. Every title by coach and year, the seven straight under Carroll, and the search for a first Big Ten title.
USC claims eleven national championships across four coaches, including one the NCAA vacated and the school still counts. Every title season, the 2003 split with LSU, the 34 game winning streak, and the six seasons the school does not claim.
Notre Dame leads USC 53 to 38 with five ties, but USC has had the longer runs of dominance. The rivalry from the Trojans’ side: the 1931 game that made it, the 1974 comeback, the eight straight under Carroll, and why there is no game until 2030.
USC has eight Heisman winners, more than any program: four tailbacks from 1965 to 1981, three quarterbacks and a running back under Pete Carroll, and Caleb Williams in 2022. Every winner, and the trophy that was given back and then restored.
Every USC head coach with records. Jones, McKay, Robinson and Carroll won ten of the program’s eleven national titles, the four coaches between Carroll and Riley all failed, and Riley enters year five needing a breakthrough.
Tennessee has 41 consensus All-Americans, from Neyland’s single wing stars to Eric Berry’s back to back unanimous seasons and Jalin Hyatt in 2022. The honours by era, the two time picks, and the defensive tradition behind them.
