Since I did not proofread the post was quite messed up. You will notice that my post was filled with missing keys but fairly adequate grammar.

You're embarrassing the other UCLA alums and fans who post here using a little class and dignity.

But it's not like I was saying they should be a Top 5 team, I'm just saying to not be included in the Top 25 is pretty strange. Gilbert and Driver,

You should be relishing in the demise SUC. They have played no one and looked bad in every game they won except Nebaska (who fired their AD today btw fr lack of ogress in football). They lost to one of theorst teams in college Football (stanford) and should have lost too two of the worst teams in the PAC 10 (U of A and Washington). Oh yea, they did beat that mighty FB powerhouse Idaho 28 10. SUC is "hardly one of the better teams" in CFB right nw Larry

Keep in mind that computers only look at what a team has done objectively, not their talent level or their potential. USC's four Pac-10 games have been against the four worst teams in the conference if you look at the standings. And they lost to one of them. Their other wins were to Idaho and Nebraska, the latter of which has underachieved to a 4-3 record this year. After Notre Dame this week, USC's remaining five games are against teams with winning records -- USC's computer rankings would rise dramatically if they beat those teams. Should USC win out, they will move into the top 5 in every computer ranking, I can almost guarantee it.
