It's also hard for revenge to matter much when that motive has not worked in the four years prior; UCLA's teams were average in that span, except for the one big year in '06.<br><br>Still, Stanford is getting better each year and Harbaugh is doing good things there. But Neuheisel has just as much talent and experience on the roster. With everything looking close across the board, I'll take the coach that had two weeks to get ready and the team that beat Tennessee (who also wanted revenge) on the road.

But Stanford has much better offensive personnel. They also have the revenge motive, as well as the best KO return man in the country against a team that has covered KOs very poorly.<br>David Tony, you have two quality defensive teams here.

I feel if you rely less on computer and more on wit you would not be so off in the OK-Miami game and USC-CAL. I see Oklahoma blowin out Miami and USC pounding CAL. Both games wont even be close.

I see you have them losing to BC this week and I have to admit I am just frusterated with this team. Seems to me they are talented but just young and cant stay on track each week - you get the beat down of BYU followed by the let down at USF. Phil what are your thoughts on FSU.

If you look at Phil's PS#'s for the defensive roster, they are very strong and were good enough to win on the road at Tennesee. UCLA is Stanford's toughest opponent to date. With Neuheisel given two weeks to prepare, I like UCLA's chances to pull the upset, too.
