Wow! What an unbelievable game. Nobody...nobody could have predicted the outcome of this one. BYU: 59, UCLA: 0.
And, not only did BYU upend a PAC-10 team...so did three other MWC teams (TCU, UNLV and New Mexico). The MWC owned the PAC-10 this weekend. And, USC (after yet another week off) plays only PAC-10 teams the rest of the season with the exception of the Irish visiting in November.
A little movement in the polls this week...it appears that things are settling a bit in the world of the polls (ok...for now). UGA dropping a notch because of a 7-point win over the 'ol ball coach, and Oklahoma moving up because they beat UW handily...? Not sure I agree with that given the history of the UGA-USC series and UW's winning percentage. (Auburn scored only three points against Mississippi State and dropped one spot). Although there are four SEC teams in the top 10...Auburn and LSU play this Saturday which will force a change there (War Eagle!).
Amongst ourselves: 11 of our 16 players are doing better than the AP and USA today pre-season polls. Still a lot of football to play but I don't recall use being that much better than the pros.
