They'll beat FSU in the Emerald and finish in the Top 25. Tough schedule!

Yeah I think Ucla's coach Karl is a smart and respectful guy. He praised ND and the history of the school in his pregame with us. He also talked about how special it was for his team to play there. Its nice to see him get the USC monkey off his back. I hope we can get it done next year.

A few thoughts:

1. ND w/ an SOS of 20. Where are all the morons that say ND plays a weak schedule??? STFU!!!!

2. ND's close win over UCLA definitely doesn't look as bad as it once did after yesterday.

3. UF deserves to play in the National Championship game. Here's why:

a. UF's best wins-Arkansas, Tennesee, LSU; Michigan-ND, Wisconsin & Iowa

b. Michigan had their shot and if Michigan would beat OSU in a rematch, that would cause all hell to break lose

c. "What have you done for me lately?" It's better to lose early than lose late.

Someone needs to look at the pac-10 strength of schedule because there conference makes yp the whole top ten.
Strength of schedule for divison 1 football
1)Stanford
2)USC
3)UCLA
4)Arizona
5)Washington
6)Cal
7)oregon
8)Washington state
9)Arizona State
10)oregon state

If any one thinks I am kidding check it out.

This needs to be looked at how could a conference actuallly make up the top ten on its own there must be something wrong with this system.

I think that makes sense, and I think it comes from two things: the relative strength (aka parity) in the middle of the pac-10 this year (besides stanford, there wasn't a single "bad" pac-10 team) and their strong non conference schedule.
Oregon played OU; usc played ND, Ark, and Neb; ucla played ND; stanford played ND; cal played tenn; oregon state played boise st.; arizona played LSU and BYU; washington st played auburn; UW played OU.

That's much stronger than any other conferences non-conference schedule. it's not like the big 10 where Mich plays ND, and OSU plays texas and that's it. it's across the board the conference plays tough schedules. i think it comes from a few years ago when everyone said the pac-10 was weak, and wanted to discount USC from the NC game. they ramped up the schedules following that. and it worked, i'd say.

As a California boy, i have to say GO PAC-10! Who know, maybe in a couple years the conference will be so good that USC loses a BUNCH of games instead of just 2! Well, I can dream anyway...
