Damn! Now we playoff proponents have to root for a whole bunch of 1 loss teams (and who is really going to beat Texas or USC at this point) because we severely doubt Bama finishes undefeated with Auburn, LSU and a conference championship left. And even if Bama did, they have not exactly appeared like a true contender since Prothro’s injury (which is all that matters in the wacky world of college football).

Let the “You must be adopted” cheers re-commence!

52-14 against a poor Arizona team is pathetic. I guess sometimes it helps to play a little defense. Also, I guess some lead are too big to overcome in the fourth quarter. Over at Bruin’s Nation they are already back to their favorite hobby and placing the blame on Karl Dorrell. He certainly deserves some for the debacle, but there is plenty to go around. Despite this embarrassment, UCLA has put together a surprisingly good season and even assuming it ends with two losses (if Arizona can put up 52, what do you think USC can do???), you’ve got to recognize that Dorrell has had a nice season overall.

In saving the Irish from a potential BCS crushing upset, Tom Zbikowski returned a 78-yard punt and a 33-yard interception for touchdowns. Brady Quinn had another solid day, the the day belonged to Zbikowski who was the difference in that game.

Maximum weirdness leaves Jay Cutler feeling something like this.
