Football Power Index: 78, down 16 spots, predicted record 4-8 [ouch!]
Still ahead of stanfurd (cuse 54 up 16 spots)
20% chance to get to 6 wins [ouch, ouch!]
Athletic; #50. Only down 1 spot - UCLA #24, up 41 spots
basically taking the stance that UCLA is good, and not that we are bad
Syracuse at 74
Michigan dropped 20 spots, despite the “win”. western mich 1 spot behind
Masse composite rankings - we are 80, Range 49 - 113 ; furd 81, cuse 78
Sagarin: Rank = 62, Cuse 50. BUT - using the predictor ratings, we are slightly favored against them, but the prediction would be syracuse by 1.25 points adding in home field advantage.
Bonagura says we will make Independence Bowl, shreveport LA
Schlabach says Poinsettia Bowl, San Diego, CA
Colley - the best unbiased ratings system using actual game scores, posted later as it doesn't make sense until at least week 3 or 4.
Agreed. This feels like crucial game to keep the hope of a 7-8 (9?) win season intact and to prevent all of the enthusiasm of the Tosh era from deflating. Good teams win important games. Time to see what this Bears team is made of.

Given the letdown last week, this is a big game.
It's crazy, but its already a must win game! Things could really go downhill if we don't show up here.

Good morning Golden Bears...fired up, ready to go. Let's beat the Cuse!
