I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA
I have managed to keep fairly quiet during college football for the past two years (except to bash on Mack Brown) but yesterday's games prompt me to make a few points. Notre Dame played its heart out and probably came closest to beating that $C team. Congrats to them.
UCLA had a thrilling come from behind OT victory against Wash St (first time UCLA has won in Pullman in 12 years). With Penn State and Florida State losing, there's a strong chance that UCLA will move into the top 10. The question asked during the radio post game show was whether we deserve to be a top 10 team (in light of our fluff schedule). The answer of course is well, depends on your faith in the rankings as a whole. We've beaten two ranked teams (one of them a top 10 team), but unfortunately only after losing to us did it become known that both teams were quite overrated (see, Cal's loss to the Beavers yesterday). To that end, if the pollsters want to skyrocket UCLA to #12 because we beat what they had previously considered to be a top 10 team, then so be it...squeaking by Wash State should at the very least move us past Florida and you continue on with the rankings game. But if you think that wins and losses are not as important as other factors such as depth chart, a solid D-line, etc., then clearly we don't belong in the same category as a VTech or even Notre Dame.
Regardless, overrated ranking [and a possible BCS berth] here I come.

As an alum myself I'm thrilled because they sucked the entire time I was there (01-04). That being said, you really need to be able to stop the run if you want to be considered a top 10 team and UCLA certainly cannot. If no one else does, USC will expose UCLA for what it is: an average offense with a great player (Drew) and a porous D-Line.
I wise man once said, "F-UCLA."
Wiser men have used better grammar when saying, "A Trojan is only good once, but a Bruin is forever."
i did not know that an offense that averages 45 pts per game was considered average. and as an alum you should be embarassed to have overlooked the fact that in marcedes lewis ucla has the best tight end in the country and one of the tope pro prospects in the country. furthermore the description of what usc will expose ucla to be is what i believe notre dame exposed usc to be. also, i'm tired of hearing the media talk about how tough the sec is, how the pac-10 is weak and blah blah. dude alabama-tennessee, 9 total points. anyone who has played football at any significant level knows good offense will always beat good defense, 9 total points total= both of you suck. so keep on scheduling middle tennessee state, uab, or army, air force or lame duck just outta d3 type schools, cry me a river, we're undefeated. oh ya, roll on this bears!
