Episode 203: Strength of Schedule

  Reign of Troy Radio returns with an episode looking at the Trojans 2017 football schedule and much more.

• The show opens with Michael and Alicia reading some new reviews on the Reign of Troy app before diving into the latest news, including Trojans on the latest College Football Hall of Fame ballot and a recruiting flip as Dillon Faamatau committed away from USC to Oklahoma.
• The major discussion of the episode falls around USC's schedule, specifically Reign of Troy's threat level ranking for each Trojan opponent in 2017. Why is the September slate so daunting? Is it even possible to predict the level of difficulty presented by October and November given the murky situations surrounding Notre Dame, UCLA and others?
• As always, the RoT Crew open up the mailbag with your listener questions:
  • How does an alternate universe where USC's 2016 team plays the 2017 schedule and the 2017 team plays the 2016 schedule play out?
  • Who is the best QB in California?
  • Who should be blitzing more?
  • Do you want to see Justin Bieber in a USC jersey?
• Finally, the show ends with a game of This or That concerning MLB closers and placekickers.
