My Top 5:
1. UCLA- The way the game was played it really didn’t feel like an upset and it seemed like that was all the anger and frustration being released and the page had turned.
2. Oregon- My buddy and I agreed that night that if Oregon was up by 21 at halftime we were heading to 4th.  Granted Dixon’s knee played a huge roll in it but that 2nd quarter was one for the ages.  It also gave Antoine Cason the stage to win the Thorpe and become a 1st round pick.
3. ASCC- The only one we won while I was in school and it said we weren’t going to roll over in this rivalry game like we had the previous two seasons.  Kovalcheck played the game of his life.
4. BYU- Vegas is always a blast no matter how cold it is.  We also had all the beer vendors on our side due to the opponent.  The trip was nice, getting to a bowl game, and seeing Tui and Thomas set records to cap off great careers and rushing the field was a culmination of 10 long frustrating years.
5. USC- Holiday Bowl berth.  Second place finish.  Beating hated SC and essentially ending the Pete Carroll era.  Sounds like a great Saturday.
