Washington State thumps Oregon to prove their worth and Washington (minus Stanback) takes Cal to overtime. That would’ve been glorious if they had won.

Two teams had a chance to boost USC’s computer ranking today with HUGE upsets – Nebraska and Washington. Both came up excruciatingly short.

What we should’ve learned from today however is – give USC some respect here. It isn’t like they’re pulling out 6 point victories against poor opponents (as some implied). Nebraska, Washington (minus their best player), Washington State, and Arkansas all continued good seasons by either playing superior opponents to the edge or winning this Saturday.

Yes, USC has played the toughest schedule in the country. Don’t delude yourselves.
