2024 - 1: USC Trojans vs. LSU Tigers

USC (Pac-12 Conference) and LSU (Southeastern Conference) have met only two times previously as the Trojans defeated the Tigers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1979 before LSU took the rematch in Los Angeles in 1984. LSU has never played a game in the Silver State, while USC appeared in two Las Vegas Bowls (2001 and 2013) played at Sam Boyd Stadium.
