Which Super Bowl advertiser will score a touchdown?
The USC community — faculty, staff, students and alumni— is invited to join students in casting their ballots for the best Super Bowl commercial Sunday, Feb. 2, 2020.
The Class
One hundred students and faculty in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications gather in the school’s state-of-the-art multimedia room for Cocky's Super Ad Poll to watch the game and critique the lineup of Super Bowl commercials. They evaluate commercials on likability, persuasiveness and brand identity.

Our poll has closed and the results will be posted soon.
