As spring ball kicks in, it's time to start looking ahead, way ahead, with the 20 big questions of the off-season beginning with the 40 Top Non-Conference Games. There are several big first-time matchups, while two juggernauts square off in a national title-like showdown.

1. Ohio State at USC, Sept. 13
It's the epic matchup of superpowers you really wanted to see over the last few seasons, and it could've been the 2007 BCS Championship game if the Trojans hadn't gagged against UCLA. These two have played each other in a slew of recent Rose Bowls, right? The last game between the two was in 1990, with USC winning 35-26. The last Rose Bowl matchup was in 1985, and the last Buckeye win over the Trojans came in the 1974 Rose Bowl. The winner will likely be the nation's No. 1 team...


I like most of the picks but this one sucks - how many time do we need to see Ohio St. get knocked around and pounded by teams that are legit?

This should be a good game but out of the 40 games llisted I can't see this one as the #1.
