Know why? They try and keep these West Coast teams ranked high, if not, no one stays up on a Saturday night to watch a game. Want to know how many times uscw sold out games last year? Twice, UCLA and Standford. What about this one, the last time usc played in a bowl game, the total attendance was a little over 40K.
Stanford. Oregon looks to be the better team simply because their coach can adapt his personnel during a game. Does the actual rose bowl sell out each year? I thought it did.
Wow -- Stanford managed only 13 points on UW after we hung 41 on them. In fact, Stanford's offense could only muster 2 FG's. Their TD was on a pick-6. Heard the ESPN idiots were falling all over themselves praising Stanford's front 7, saying they were better than LSU's -- then right on cue, UW scored on a 61 yard TD run on a 4th and 1.
LSU is above average due to their defense. The offense is bad. No leaders and no left tackle. This won't change soon. We are likely a 10 to 15 team unless bill and ted takes over. USC is about a 15-20 team. That won't change til their coach is.
Tirk- you really believe there are 9 to 14 teams in the country that can stop our running game and score enough points on our defense to beat us? Stanford supposedly had one of the best power running games in the country. The same UW defense that we ran for nearly 250 yards on held them to 65.
