U$C

Oh yeah, way to go U$C for beating the crap out of Oklahoma and making the Pac-10 (and Cal) look a little better. People were starting to think the Pac-10 was soft and it was good to see all those East Coast sports "journalists" (that's right, ESPN, you) who thought Okalahoma would win in a walk get shown up. Maybe they should stay awake for some West Coast football once in a while, or at least TiVo it.

I think Cal and U$C could be building a great rivalry for the Pac-10 title. Cal is the only team in two seasons to beat Southern Cal (and really, the only team to come very close), and the only team to have a 100-yard rusher against the Trojan defense (and they did it both times, with Echimandu and Arrington). Cal was probably a couple of special teams plays away from a share of the national title this year. (Cal beats $C, Cal beats Michigan in the Rose, and share the title with the winner of the Auburn/Oklahoma Orange Bowl.)

EDIT: OK, so UCLA was close too.
