<p>^ UCLA’s adoption of the pistol looked like an act of desperation even with Norm Chow calling the shots. If UCLA doesn’t finish strong, I think Neuweasel will be shown the door (despite the signature win over Texas).</p>
<p>A strong QB is great but not everything (see Washington).</p>
<p>With Oregon’s facilities and money it will be a strong contender for a long time IMO. Fortunately, Cal is <em>partially</em> addressing that gap with renovation of Memorial stadium and the addition of new training and locker facilities. I guess UCLA is too with some renovations to the Rose Bowl on tab. </p>
<p>Competition becomes greater next year with the addition of Colorado and (esp.) Utah…along with the whole championship game structure. </p>
<p>In a sense, the Pac-12 is addressing your complaint of co-champions.</p>
