Always nice to see USC lose. Go Bruins! Looks like the Sugar Bowl for ND. Our family will attend.
Guessing a rematch of Michigan and OSU for national title. We get Florida who will either be mad as hell an kill us or be distracted and run into the Fightin Irish shredder.
Rosie I think the combined effort to beat Oregon, Cal and ND in consecutive games was what wore them down. Plus, very few in the local area gave UCLA any chance (including me) and I think that got the Bruins' dander up. They looked really good on defense the entire game.
The big story in the papers, other than USC out of BCS Championship, is how the UCLA defensive coordinator played this game as literally him vs JD Booty. Interesting strategy.
The constant pressure was exactly what we needed to do last week. I'm guessing there wasn't enough confidence in our defensive backs to sell out repeatedly with blitzes. Of course, given the end result, how much worse could it have been? I really thought we were getting in Booty's head in the second quarter. Just couldn't close the deal after half time.
I'm certainly not a BCSologist, but I'm hoping Florida passes Michigan. I'm not a big fan of a rematch in this year at least. Believe Michigan had their chance, now it's Florida's turn. Plus, I'd rather not have to go through all the Urban Meyer turning down ND stories that we'll have to endure. And, I think we'd get the "mad as hell" version of the Gators. Don't need all those undertones going in, if you ask me.
