I thought it was odd that he thought those would be the toughest games in terms of going undefeated when USC is by far the toughest game they will have all season.

It would seem to me that toughest game on your schedule, a team who is also much better than you, would be the key to going undefeated.
Well every game is key to going undefeated, but I'd agree that a season that starts as Oregon's does is the key portion of the schedule. If they come into the USC game undefeated the fact that it's at home and on Halloween makes that a pretty even matchup. USC is better than Oregon, but not "much better". They have some areas to establish themselves in before they get to that point though, which is why the openers are the key point to any chance of an undefeated season.

It's a pretty reasonable assessment if you actually consider it.
