Oregon Vs. Cal
Oh what a game! That was truly a game to go down as one of the greatest of the year. Like most of you, I wish Oregon would have just stepped out of bounds and not had fumbled the ball through the endzone. With the losses of most of the top 10 teams in the poll, I thought Oregon would have moved up. Clearly the voters didn’t watch the game. Come on, Oklahoma ranked above Oregon, Oklahoma lost to Colorado! Here is the ranking for week 5 (USA TODAY COACHES POLL):

It goes to show that with the ranking this week most of the voters must have been sitting in a cave. Oregon is flat out better than the ranking it holds. (IF) Oregon had made it into the endzone they might have won the game. But again that is a “IF”. Cal won this one. With USC squeeking by Washington, it makes you wonder how good is USC. USC is still winning and I guess that is all that matters… My top 5… #1.LSU #2. USC #3.Cal #4. Ohio State (But look at how crappy the Big Ten is…) #5 Oregon. If Oregon beats USC, I think they should move up to #3… Go Ducks!
