    Fairly confident we will beat UCLA in Huskeiieiee stadium.

    Would be cool if UCLA was still in the top 10 when it happens.

    UCLA had a great win but it was over a team with perhaps the worst defense in the conference and missing its MVP which makes its offense go. UCLA is a solid team but they are getting too big of a bump for this win.

    They moved up three spots. Big fucking deal.

    ASU will beat USC this week. And rush for 600 yards doing it

    That seems fair. I thought they moved up 5+ spots.

    I agree five or more would have been excessive. Here's what the article says:
    The Bruins jumped three spots to No. 8 -- passing Notre Dame, Michigan State and Ole Miss -- after their impressive 62-27 win at Arizona State.
    Hard to argue they're not better than ND or Michigan State, and while Ole Miss may be better UCLA definitely has a better set of wins. I think they're ranked pretty appropriately.

    UCLA doesn't strike me as a top 8 caliber team in a normal year, but CFB is a fucking dreckfest this year. Hard to find anyone else who deserves to be ahead of them IMO.

    Thanks bro! I got sick of Hobert's SEG. Plus, all of a sudden I feel like drinking a lot of whiskey.

    I would bet that Cal and COL have worse defenses than ASU.

    Wow. UCLA beat ASU. That's really impressive. Slightly more impressive than their close wins over their shit tier OOC opponents.

    A lot more impressive than barely beating WSU. Nevada had an easier time with WSU than Oregon did. UCLA is #1 in the Official Hardcore Husky Power Rankings for a reason.
    The Oregon game is the coog's annual championship game. They always come suited up and ready to play their best. I doubt they gave much of a fuck about Nevada and played accordingly. Oregon's offensive line is also severely injured. HTH.

    That's why the Ducks are #2 in the Power Rankings. HTH
