I guess I'm just not sure how true this is.  the schedule isn't identical.  (Also, you keep mentioning 2 non conference wins, ASU has 3 non conf wins better than anything USC has, plus USC lost to Princeton, at home, which is a worse loss than anything ASU has in or out of conf)

The teams have played 10 games against the same opponent (opponent and location).  Well, it's really 9, plus their head to head.  Here is the breakdown of those 9

at Arizona
at Coloardo
Oregon
Oregon State
at Stanford
at Cal
Utah
Colorado
At Oregon

For what it's worth, in those 9 games, USC has outplayed ASU, they are 7-2 compared to 3-6.  However, I think you should add in the head to head, so it's 7-3 for USC and 4-6 for ASU.  S0, a 2 game lead.  That's not nothing.  Here are the 5 games ASU has played that USC hasn't

at Utah- W
at Wash- L
at Wash St-W
UCLA- W
Arizona- L
 
So the 5 teams ASU has played that USC hasn't have a combined record in league play of 43-34.  55.6 win%.  Also includes 3 road games out of 5.

There are 6 games SC has played that ASU hasn't.  They are
Wash
Wash State
at Oregon State
Stanford
Cal
@UCLA

Those 6 teams have a combined conf record of 37-54, and that includes 4 home games for USC.  41% win

Schedule has clearly favored USC.  The worst team in the conference is Cal, they play USC twice.  ASU once.  The best team is Arizona, they play ASU twice, USC once.
