* UCLA (home) This was supposed to be ugly. Quinn was supposed to pad his Heisman numbers, and ND could then roll though the academies on their way to USC. UCLA's defense was horrible coming into South Bend.
That simply isnt true. UCLA has the 10th ranked total defense in the country and the 11th ranked rushing defense and they're in the top 15 in sacks. They have been anything but horrible this season and are the only reason why that team is winning or in games at all.
I agree we were ranked too high at the beginning of the season. After our Michigan loss though both UF and UT were ranked ahead of us. It was after the UF loss that Florida fell down behind us. Also after Florida lost, they were ranked ahead of ND in the AP poll and the BCS but I dont have a problem with UF or really UT being ahead of ND in the polls. I do have a problem with Clemson and maybe Tenn though.
