Of the two games remaining, you have to like the odds against a probably Rosen-less, can’t tackle against the run to save their lives, might have already quit on Jim Mora UCLA team. And you could also talk yourself into feeling good about Stanford, which still might not have a healthy Bryce Love in two weeks, will be coming off a brutal, physical match-up and likely loss to Washington, and plays us off of a bye in an environment that will not be a true home game.
I’m on the record as not being mad if we don’t make a bowl, and I’m sticking to it, because it’s not fair to revise upward on a team that’s really maximizing all it has left.
