College Football 2007-2008

So did USC but the sounds of it.

Having watched most of that one... I think that may go down as one of the most one-sided 3 point games in the history of college football. UW stayed close because of penalties (some of which were rather dubious) and really flukey plays (a blocked punt, an interception that bounced off the reciever's shoulder pads).

With the penalties it sounds like USC kept Washington close.

So far, so good. UH is moving up in both polls.

Colt Brennan is going to have a field day with reporters and critics about throwing 5 interceptions, though. May hurt his Heisman hope.

Err... others are moving down/out. It's not that UH is really doing anything to deserve moving up.

Go South Florida the best team in the Sunshine State!! Finally a team from there the northerns won't hate!!

Err... others are moving down/out.

So? They lost their games on the same weekend UH won. Not my problem.

We know that UH have to win all their games, because of the weak game schedule this season, and no BCS team outside of the WAC want to challenge them (at least not while Colt is at UH).

Eh. UH's play (and that of their opponents) to date strongly suggests they'll end up undefeated with two games left, then get stomped by Boise and Washington to close out the season, probably tumbling out of the top 25 with the second loss. There's no more reason to have them in the top 25 now than say, Kansas, Purdue, or UConn (other undefeated teams that have been unimpressive in rolling through soft schedules), except that the Warriors don't run into a decent opponent for a while, whereas the major conference pretenders will in the next week or two.

While I really want to believe you, I'm not so sure about Boise. They're not nearly as good this year. Though maybe they will be by then. If Boise wins, it will be a close one.

It would still knock Hawaii out of BCS contention, though. Non-BCS teams have to be undefeated to qualify, without a doubt. Hell, Boise was 22nd in the nation, lost by 10 to Washington, and are now sitting around 40th and not moving much.

Oh, like we were given many options of BCS candidate teams -- other than Boise State -- wanting to play UH this season? I still think they chickened out when Colt decided to stay one more year. I also think Herman Frazier suck as UH AD.

Can't wait for August 30, 2008 (vs. Florida Gators).

Looks like Im the only Bruin on these boards.. so I have to support UCLA.
Still dont understand where the Utah game came from.. but since, UCLA has been strong. Olson has delievered and teh Bruins cracked the top 25 once again in three of the 4 epsn polls (minus the AP) - I guess losing that badly to an unranked team really hurts...
Best part is they play Notre Dame this week - who has yet to see a win this year - and if we pound them into the ground, then it will be a good week.....

Lets just hope they dont pull something out of the arse and lose to them like Utah - that would bury them for good this year.

EDIT - and if they beat Cal(3) next week *keeping my fingers crossed* then Cal will most likely drop into the teens, and UCLA will be right on top of them - prolly around 15.

But I cant help but show some SoCal pride when USC plays Florida Nov 10... I want to see them get pounded into the stone age... That will make me happy for them beating us in BBall 2 years in a row...
