Washington State’s College Football Playoff hopes were all but dashed Friday with an upset loss to Cal, and head coach Mike Leach was none too forgiving.
After the blowout 37-3 defeat, Leach ripped his team as “pathetic frontrunners” and said there was “no bright spot,” per the Seattle Times.

The Cougars entered Friday’s game 6-0 on the season and ranked No. 8 in the country. That made the manhandling at the hands of Cal, who came in with a record of 3-3 and zero total wins in conference play this season, all the more stunning. As for Leach, he has always been one to tell it like it is, and a dream-crushing rout by a mediocre opponent will certainly bring out that side of him.
