UCLA played the 2nd toughest schedule in college football this year. BYU? 65th. UCLA played 5 teams in the top 30 this year, with a 3-2 record. BYU? 0. Yeah, I know... UCLA was ranked 15th or so when they beat the Cougs, but I'm going by end of season statistics and rankings.

How many times did UCLA beat Utah this year?

You can't rely on rankings defining tough teams. How many times did one of those tough "ranked" teams get beat by an unranked "weak" team this year?

We can always count on Airwolf to look on the bright side.

How many Notre Dames did BYU lose to this year?

How many times did UCLA beat BYU this year, your point makes no sense.

My point is there are many factors that go into who wins a game and who loses.

For example: Where did BYU play UCLA? Where did Utah play UCLA? Where did BYU play Utah?

UCLA beat a young BYU team, in Pasadena. Early in the year, when our best skill players were acclimating to Division I football, (Collie, Pitta were returned missionaries & Unga, Hall had never played a college game prior to this year) UCLA jumped ahead on BYU and the Cougars fought back, but the comeback fell short.

We have now won nine straight. We are a different team, a better team. Win or lose, UCLA will not be facing the same BYU team they played in September.

My second point is, we had the #2 ranked team in the nation lose to unranked teams six times this season.

Our current #1 ranked team (Ohio State) got their #1 ranking by beating only one team that is currently ranked (Wisconsin). The ranking system is a sham!
