My husband is beside himself. He can barely function tonight. Argh! Cal can be so frustrating. Their chance at #1!

Ohio State #1... again?

Amazingly...Michigan can still win the Big 10.

What a season.

Go BIG TEN!

Okay... Wisconsin may be out of it... but hey... I'll take another shot at the National Championship for the conference.

Cal... pretty pathetic! Did that shot at #1 get to your head.

LSU... ouch... that's gotta hurt.

USC... where have you gone.

Ohio State may be #1, Now, but after the voters take a good look at their cream puff schedule so far, some may want to switch their vote for number 1. OSU will be facing some stronger competition from here on out so we will get a better feel for how good they are.

Cal may be a good team, but they never impressed me as being a dominant team. If they run the table, they may get some consideration for the BCS championship game. I don't think they can do it.

Is that crazy or what?

I watched LSU choke. I listened to a little of Cal. What a wasted opportunity.

What fair weather fans!....I still say GO BEARS!

It was not that long ago that it was embarrassing to say that we were Cal alumni during football season. Tedford has brought the team far.

/agree

Not many schools have the recruiting engine to survive plugging in a freshman quarterback and Cal is definitely not one of them. I believe if Riley doesn't let this loss get to him, he will be great for the Bears in 2009-10, but having to play him tonight cost the Bears a lot of opportunities. Frankly after the first half Cal was lucky to even have a lead. And if Riley hadn't played lights out in the 4th quarter in the first place, he wouldn't have been the goat in this game. In comparison to last year, when Cal lost Mixon they got torched by Tennessee. (Pretty sure they would have lost anyway, but the result would have been respectable.)

Tedford has done an excellent job, Cal was a bottom feeder when he took the job. But at the same time Cal seems to make a few coaching blunders in games and squibbing with :43 left in the half was a biggie. Hard to say for sure how things would end up but the obvious angle would be Cal's position at the end of the game - being tied instead of down by 3.

I'd like to see Cal finally make a Rose Bowl, but with the type of team they have running the table will always be difficult. They're not USC and they aren't going to be blowing everyone out, and as Carroll said after the Stanford loss, the margin of victory isn't much. Cal would have lost to somebody eventually. OTOH, when you have a team like Ohio St blowing their opponents out, they're not on the ropes every week.

Good Luck with that one! This is being a really weird college football year. Go Boston College? Oh well, anyone who thumps Notre Dame is OK by me. USC may be out of it so what the heck, Go Oregon? Naw that doesn't work either. OK, Go Patriots!

You may be getting close to the truth there.
