- Ali Khosroshahin is the second coach to ever lead a team to the championship game in his first year.
- USC's semifinal victory was its first over UCLA since 1998 (11 games).
- USC has played Florida State three times. The Trojans won, 2-1, in Tallahassee in 2003, lost, 2-1, in Tallahassee in 2004, and lost, 4-0, in Los Angeles in 2005.
