We beat LSU early in 2005. That's probably the best team we've beaten in at least three years.

We didn't starte the season off by beating them though.

I'm still at a loss as to how we came back to win that one.

Oh wait, LSU had Les Miles. Nevermind.

It was only our third game. There were still plenty of optimists at that point. Our #3 ranking hadn't been exposed as totally insane at that point.

I wish I could go back in time and tell all those frat dudes in Berkeley who showed so little class to get ready to pack their bags for the Armed Forces Bowl.

At one time they had only 12 of their original starters on the field because of injuries, once they lost some linemen and their qb...they were done.

Their QB missed exactly one game. They suck. Just like those of us who actually know what we're talking about around here have been saying for two years.

Do you really expect AF to win?

Since you followed Cal all year, I am curious as to what went wrong? All start with the Oregon State game? Were there injuries or other reasons, or did the team simply lose a couple, quit, and go in tank?

I never thought they were as good as we made them look, but expected them to win more than 6 games.

we were never a NC caliber team, i was saying that all along here, but we should certainly be better than 6-6. our team tanked it once they realized they were out of the rose bowl. longshore got injured, our backup played fantastically against OSU and then brain farted the game away in the final seconds. Tedford started longshore the rest of the season even though he was still injured. Longshore crapped away the UCLA and Arizona State games (maybe because of the injury or maybe because he is a choker, who knows) and after that the team gave up (maybe because tedford was sticking with a guy the team had no faith in).

Didn't watch them again after the Oregon State game, but my hunch was that they "quit" after losing a couple.

Big deal. USC lost at home to a 4-8 team and they are in the BCS.

Southern Cal won their conference. Adding hardware to the trophy case obsures a bad night. Tennessee has losses to two .500 teams and nothing to show for it. There's a difference.

Dude. We won the East. You should still be giving thanks.

If the SEC determined conference champs the same way the PAC 10 does, UT would have won our conference.

And it doesn't change the fact that USC lost at home to a sub .500 team.

Sooooo. I can suppose that UF would have done better playing UT's schedule, and you call that a ridiculous assumption. However, you get to say that a team with three SEC losses would win the SEC in a round robin tournament?

Everybody plays every other team in the PAC 10. Had that happened in the SEC this year, I am quite confident UT would have had no chance in hell.

USC and ASU tied in the regular season, with USC winning the tie breaker.

UT, LSU, and UGA tied at the end of the regular season with UT winning a tie breaker.

I am quite confident that UT would be favored over the only two SEC opponents they didn't play this year. That's far from no chance.

That wasn't a round robin schedule. If we played all 11 SEC opponents.... that'd be rough for Tennessee. I personally think LSU would once again win the conference with that format. The one good thing that would occur would be no BCS bowl for UGA.

you lost to the 7th placed pac-10 team. i see no reasonable argument that you would have won the pac-10 given USC's schedule.

We would play UM and AU. LSU would face VU and UGA. Everyone else would mix in three more games.

It would be interesting. Still come down to a three way tie breaker most likely.
