Devils Still Undefeated; Number 8 in first BCS ranking

The Devils took care of business Saturday night against Washington and have now officially beat all the teams they were supposed to beat. After their upcoming bye week, the soft part of their schedule officially ends.

The match-up with Cal on Oct. 27 was supposed to be a premiere match-up of undefeated teams but unfortunately Cal did not deliver on their part of the bargain. Sure their starting QB was hurt but legit top 5 teams are supposed to overcome those type of things against weaker competition, particularly on their home field. Way to screw up an opportunity to be number 1 Cal and hand the top spot to an overrated and undeserving Ohio State. People want to say ASU is overrated because we haven't beaten anyone yet, but Ohio State has beaten an even more unimpressive schedule of nobodies.

I'm trying to be realistic about ASU. Here's my realistic prediction -- 3-2 over the next five games with wins against Cal, UCLA and U of A with losses to Oregon and USC. 10-2 record results in trip to Holiday Bowl.
