USC - Stanford

[starbuck]

I had to look at the top 10 and do some thinking and I came up with 8th. in reality they should drop down to about 14th - 16th range

[NotSoSilentBob]

Yes, they should. But like I said, the USC love will hold out (at least in the AP) and they will only drop 4-5 spots.

Cal is good at best...nowhere near elite...but considering the ESPN-ABC ties, they;ll prolly start trying to hype a Cal OSU national title game...if LSU loses. That is far from over right now tho. At least 7 of the top 25 lost today tho.

[NotSoSilentBob]

Hmmm, Cal/OSU...sounds like a perfect matchup for the ESPN Hype Machine.

After a loss to a team like Stanford, USC should be no better ranked than 15..right around where Oregon was going into this week. A few of the teams ranked 15 and better lost this week..but they didn't lose to Stanford...But sine it's USC they'll keep em in the top 10 which is a shame. I was thinking the same thing about Cal OSU...Cal will lose this year tho.

[NotSoSilentBob]

I don't know. Cal has a decent team, good coaching, and great speed at the skill positions. If Stanford can beat USC, then theoretically Cal should have no problem beating them.

[sup-rbeast]

Cal will lose. USC, UCLA (cuz it's a rivarly) or Washington can beat them. They go to Arizona St. also.

NotSoSilent Bob, Do you think they'll go to No. 1?

[sup-rbeast]

If Florida can hold on they prolly will...but the momentum has shifted to LSU in that game. Until they lose, they are number 1.

Great game to watch, Stanford converting two huge fourth downs, on incredible catches. All of this with only having around 70 yards of total offense near the end of the third quarter.
