Here it is Monday morning and I have a list of apologies to dish out. First, to the handful of UCLA fans I know--I underestimated the Bruins. They strolled into Austin like bullies walking into a school dance and handed the Texas Longhorns a thrashing. Impressive.

To Stanford's fans: your team is exceptionally good. Saturday in Eugene could be an early, early indication of who wins the PAC. I don't know if anybody comes out of the league unscathed, though. Highly doubtful.

I was surprised by the low-scoring affair between Cal and Arizona. Where did Cal get a defense all of a sudden? Nevada rocked them just days ago. Jeez. Arizona won though, so I got that one right, despite expecting an Arizona blowout. How good is the Nevada QB? Put him at the top of the Heisman watch.

Speaking of defense. What happened to Oregon's? Against talented foes, defense become a chess match. Unable to overpower the Sun Devils, Oregon had to revert to schemes and blitz packages. They looked disorganized and silly at times.

ASU, picked to finish 9th by the "experts," slapped Oregon's offensive line silly, only to see their quarterback give the game away. Oregon was very lucky to win the game. If they play like that against Stanford on Saturday they lose.

Entertaining game of the day: Alabama and Arkansas.

Great weekend of college ball, wasn't it?
