Barring a late turnover returned for a USC touchdown, it looks like Vicki Lopez will once again lose a BrendanLoy.com contest after heading into the final event with the lead. The current USC margin of 17 points would make Sean Sullivan the winner of the USC prediction contest; Lopez would finish second. UCLA has the ball deep in their own territory with less than three minutes left.

UPDATE: UCLA punts it away, and USC has the ball near midfield with 1:44 left. You have to think the Trojans won’t be too aggressive with their play-calling, so it looks like UCLA will beat the spread and Sullivan will win the pool.

UPDATE 2: Yup. USC 24, UCLA 7, final. Congrats, Sean!
