In the AFC, Brian Cushing's Texans take on Jack Del Rio and Malcolm Smith's Raiders in the first round. When the Steelers and Dolphins face off, Xavier Grimble will do all he can to lift his team over Jordan Cameron's.
In the first NFC Wild Card game, three Trojan linebackers will suit up: Clay Matthews and Nick Perry for the Packers, and Devon Kennard for the Giants.
The winners of that game could go up against All-Pro Tyron Smith (pictured), QB Mark Sanchez and the Cowboys in the Divisional Round. The Seahawks, featuring head coach Pete Carroll, LB Mike Morgan and RB Tre Madden, take on the Lions in the other NFC Wild Card Game.
At least one Trojan has appeared in 45 of the 50 previous Super Bowls, including eight of the last 10. Packers C Ryan Kalil was USC's sole representative last year. With a Trojan on eight of 12 NFL Playoff teams, there's a 67% chance that a Trojan will earn a Super Bowl ring this year.
