UCLA's Sagarin Strength of Schedule

I have pointed out in a couple of posts how we need to take into account the high quality of the teams we have been playing in our conference.  According to the Sagarin Computer Strength of Schedule UCLA has had up to this point the 3rd toughest schedule in the country behind only Washington (#1) and Arkansas (#2).  The reality I think is that we are playing teams with high powered explosive offenses who are where we want to be within a couple years.  I'd rate Oregon, Cal, Arizona, Stanford, and probably Oregon St. among the best offensive teams in the country right now.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of BruinsNation's (BN) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of BN's editors.

Good information

but I still don’t think most of us are bothered by the fact that we’re losing. It’s how we’re losing. From what we’ve seen these last few Saturdays, it’s something to be worried about.

The high powered offenses we are playing do not . . .

. . . explain or excuse the offense that is just as bad (completely unwatchable) as it was in CKD’s last season.

That's the problem

There seems to be more confusion wit this offense than anything we ever saw from Dorrell. How that can be is beyond me. I’m almost numb to the losses. The fact we’re so bad on offense is discouraging.

I would be OK with that

if our deficiencies were attributable to good defense. But, when receivers run the wrong routes, and drop wide open passes, that’s got nothing to do with SOS.

Yup

The kids running most of these routes and throwing the passes have been in the system for almost 2 years now. Amazing how out of sync everyone looks.
