Best win of the season was 8-0 over #4 Stanford.

Nice to see that USF knocked UF out of the final rankings.  ;D

#2 only NBE team ranked (ND only other team recieving votes)

if we can get the majority of our programs consistantly at this level we will do very well in the BE

i am disappointed they didn't make better showing in playoffs

I am, too.  They tried hard.  But given where they were in the polls, it wasn't that they were upset by lesser teams.

[Markeymark]

They beat who they were supposed to beat and lost to who they were supposed to lose to.

Too bad they didn't put up more of a fight in that first Oregon game, though. I would have liked to see us get at least one shot at FSU.

All in all, it was a great season.
