Usually I discuss USC and UCLA in a separate video so y’all
can hear me discuss the local scene (which is still here) but I had to speak on something I noticed
in the AP poll. USC’s steep decline from No. 2 to 13.
*Also of note, Stanford QB Josh Nunes and Matt Barkley came out of HS at the same time. I remember hearing a lot about Nunes in Upland despite Barkley getting all the hype. Almost funny how that worked out with them seeing each other*
Now as a UCLA fan, this is where I’d laugh and say they
deserved it because they struggled most of the game. But a thought occurred to
me. If these were two SEC teams playing a similar game and the higher seed lost
on the road by only 7, would that team drop so steeply?
