College Sports: Pac-12 football: Matt Barkley to return for senior season (let’s just hand USC the South title now)

The big news out of Trojanland on Thursday is big news for the Pac-12 next fall:

USC quarterback Matt Barkley just announced he?s pulling a Luck.

Barkley will pass on the top tier of the 2012 NFL Draft and return to USC for one more season ? his final season ? as the presumptive Heisman favorite (assuming RG3 turns pro) ? and the potential first pick in the 2012 draft.

Sound familiar?

(More details here.)

I?ll have more on Barkley?s decision ? and how it impacts the Pac-12 and national landscape ? in the next 24 hours.

Remember, the Trojans are eligible for the conference title and a bowl berth in 2012.

And remember, the bulk of USC?s starting lineup is expected to return.

The Trojans will no doubt be a top-10 team in the preseason polls and the heavy, heavy, HEAVY favorite to win the South, which was a mess this season and doesn?t, at first glance, appear to have much more clarity in ?12.
