Stangely enough, I'm rooting for USC to win at least against Arizona (I could care less about the Victory Bell game). The best early Christmas gift ever, though, would be for Oregon to lose to UA, Stanford to win against Cal, and then the requisite Christmas/Thanksgiving week miracle, Wazzu wins. The only people in the conference, really, that are happy if Wazzu loses is Oregon State, so what better time for Washington State to show up to the ball than a week before the Apple Cup with a conference win. Please, UC. I already had those combinations etched into my memory before Saturday's shellacking in LA. |

Top 25 NCAA Football Teams (link)
1 Alabama moves up a space after winning at Mississippi State, 31-3, to become the best team in college football. Up next: Chattanooga. WTF? 2 Florida moves down a space after winning a close game at South Carolina, 24-14. Do the gators have what it takes to beat Alabama? Up next: Florida International. Double WTF? 3 TCU remains at three after beating Utah, 55-28. TCU is now looking at a BCS bowl and 12-0 season, but how will things shake-up around them? and do the horned frogs deserve a shot at the national title? Up next: @Wyoming. 4 Texas remains at four after winning at Baylor, 47-14. But the longhorns need bigger wins to break into the top two and merit the national championship. Up next: Kansas. 5 Cincinnati remains at five after beating West Virginia, 24-21. With two SEC teams and two Texas teams ahead of the bearcats, Cincy needs some upsets if they want to make the national championship. Up next: Illinois in two weeks. 6 Oregon remains at six after topping Arizona State, 44-21. The ducks control their destiny, but must win the next two games to take the PAC-10. Up next: @Arizona. 7 Georgia Tech jumps two spaces after winning at Duke, 49-10. The yellow jackets have officially won the ACC Atlantic. Up next: Georgia in two weeks. 8 Boise State moves down a space after beating cupcake Idaho, 63-25. The broncos need bigger wins or risk seeing their BCS dreams slip away from them. Up next: @Utah State. 9 Virginia Tech jumps two spaces after winning at Maryland, 36-9. Up next: NC State. 10 LSU remains at ten after beating Louisiana Tech, 24-16. Up next: @Mississippi. 11 Ohio State moves up a space after beating Iowa, 27-24, in overtime. The buckeyes have officially won the Big 10 and have made the Rose Bowl. Up next: @Michigan. 12 USC falls four spaces after being stunned by Stanford, 21-55. Up next: UCLA in two weeks. 13 Clemson moves up two spaces after winning at NC State, 43-23. The tigers will probably win the ACC Coastal Division. All Clemson needs to do is either beat Virginia or watch Boston College lose one of their next two games. Up next: Virginia. 14 Pittsburgh jumps three spaces after beating Notre Dame, 27-22. The panthers are two games away from a Big East championship and an Orange Bowl, but their opponents are West Virginia and Cincinnati. Up next: @West Virginia in two weeks. 15 Stanford jumps five spaces after winning at USC, 55-21. Up next: California. 16 Miami-Florida falls three spaces after losing at North Carolina, 24-33. Up next: Duke. 17 Oregon State moves up a space after thumping Washington, 48-21. The beavers have the strongest shot at taking the PAC-10 outside of Oregon, but they need to win out. Up next: @Washington State. 18 Iowa slips two spaces after losing at Ohio State, 24-27. I guess it's hard to win when you're giving the game away. Up next: Minnesota. 19 Arizona falls five spaces after losing at California, 16-24. While the wildcats aren't completely out of the PAC-10 race, their schedule becomes punishing. Up next: Oregon. The result of this game will either streamline and simplify the PAC race or make it completely insane. 20 Oklahoma State moves up a space after beating Texas Tech, 24-17. Up next: Colorado Thursday night. 21 Penn State slips two spaces after struggling to put away Indiana, 31-20. Up next: @Michigan State. 22 California moves up three spaces after upsetting Arizona, 24-16. Up next: @Stanford. 23 Oklahoma returns to the rankings after blowing-out Texas A&M, 65-10. The sooners schedule starts to heat up now. Up next: @Texas Tech. 24 Arkansas returns to the list after blasting Troy, 56-20. The razorbacks have scored 152 points in the past three weeks. Up next: Mississippi State. 25 Boston College moves onto the list after winning at Virginia, 14-10. The eagles still have a far outside chance of taking the ACC Coastal, but they need to win out. Up next: North Carolina. |

You are aware that this isn't the first time USC has been blown off the field by a conference foe? 55-21 isn't exactly a close loss.

Barely beat a lousy Notre Dame team, struggled against a vastly overrated Ohio State team, lost to the powerhouse Washington team, got pummelled by Oregon and
Stanford, had an impressive win over 0-10 San Joey State. The only time they played like a top 50 team was when they beat that shithole by the bay.

No comment about Stoops being wooed by Notre Dame? It'd be a raise for Bob, you know.

Three things that the new Notre Dame coach will have to do:
Redshirt more often- The other team's fifth year senior three star recruits tend to be more productive than Notre Dame's four and five star true freshmen. Convert positions more frequently- With a few exceptions like Golden Tate, Notre Dame players stick to their high school positions, regardless of whether they are actually good at that position. Teams like TCU have eight high school quarterbacks flying around on defense. Recruit nationally, but with a regional base- Notre Dame's players are too regionally diverse. It's hard to develop team chemistry when you have an equal amount of flashy west coasters, intense New Jerseyites, lumbering farmboys and sneaky-fast southerners. Start with a midwestern base and recruit select players out of the region. |
