USC was listed as a winner. Notice anything missing:

Southern California

No team inked more than the Trojans’ 16 transfer additions. The cream of the crop is quarterback Caleb Williams, who followed Riley from Oklahoma and gives USC and the Pac-12 a very strong Heisman Trophy contender. Another OU grab, receiver Mario Williams, will snag a role along the top line of the rotation. Riley and the Trojans also loaded up on players capable of stepping right into the starting lineup, including linebacker Eric Gentry (Arizona State), running back Travis Dye (Oregon) and cornerback Mekhi Blackmon (Colorado), while adding depth to a roster in need of dependable bodies.

Pitt was listed as loser:

The Panthers did nab former USC quarterback Kedon Slovis to replace first-round pick Kenny Pickett and bolstered the receiver corps by adding Konata Mumpfield (Akron) and Bub Means (Louisiana Tech). Those additions at wide are suddenly even more vital after losing star Jordan Addison, who took home the Biletnikoff Award last season as the nation’s top receiver but left for USC.
