RIP to the PAC-8/10/12. Terrible for college football that Los Angeles and Piscataway, NJ now have teams in the same conference. The SEC has made some questionable additions, but at least it still has bordering states. It's the only conference left with any sort of coherence - we'll see how long that lasts.
Bama was ranked 3 at the time too. UCLA best no. 3 Michigan 2 games later too. Then teams realized almost every ucla pass was short so if you stop Foster, you’ll win and the team kinda fell apart.
What happened Bama coach over worked his players then they flew across country in a 100% heat. And no school for ucla because it doesn’t start till October
After the missed field goal in the fourth, Bama got the ball back trailing by 11 with about two minutes to go. I know it would have taken a miracle, but it's not completely out of reach - quick touchdown, two point conversion, onside, one medium length completion, field goal. But they call runs and move at a pace like they're losing by 40 points. Clear example of how poorly coached and motivated this 2000 team was.
