It should come as no surprise to
fans of the Bears or the Pac-10. He's
had a quarterback guru to watch over
him since he stepped on the Califor
nia campus.
That guru is former Oregon offen
sive coordinator and current Califor
nia head coach JeffTedford.
"He's got tremendous attributes,
he's athletic, he's got a good arm, he's
smart, he's competitive, he's tough,"
Tedford told the Daily Californian be
fore the season about his prediction
of Rodgers. "I think that he is gonna
be a great leader."
Right on target.

That's a drop
USC defeated Arizona, 45-0, on
Saturday.
That should keep the Trojans No. 2 in
the Bowl Championship Series, right?
Wrong. Ohio State's 16-13 win over
Purdue the same day was enough to
vault the Buckeyes to No. 2 in the BCS
standings, less than a quarter of a
point in front of No. 3 USC.
The Trojans, then, have a more
than four-point lead over No. 4 LSU.
Because USC played the Wildcats,
just 2-9 overall this season, the Tro
jans dropped in strength of schedule.
Ohio State moved up in strength of
schedule because the Boilermakers
were No. 11 in the Associated Press
top 25 last week and No. 10 in the
ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll.
USC sits in second in both polls
while the Buckeyes are fourth in both.
The ramifications of USC dropping
a notch can be felt all across the Pac
10. The winner of the Pac-10 automat
ically goes to the Rose Bowl unless
that team is selected to the national
championship game.
With USC slated to the Rose, Wash
ington State is set for the Holiday
Bowl, Oregon State is ready for the
Sun Bowl and Oregon is going to the
Insight Bowl. The final two bowl invi
tations should be filled out by Cali
fornia and UCLA.
Of course, there are three more
weeks of Pac-10 play, so that could
all change. Also, a loss to Michigan
— if that were to happen — by Ohio
State this week would bump USC
back to No. 2, provided it beats
UCLA Saturday.
Then there could be two Pac-10
teams in the BCS, thus bumping
everyone up one spot.

few too many times.
There were highlights, though.
If Brooks wasn't passing behind his
back, he was picking off an errant EA
Sports pass. He had one turnover and
was credited with seven assists.
lackson shot 6 of 14 from the field
for 17 points. Much like the rest of the
starting offense, he got off to a cold
start but picked it up in the end.
"Maybe we didn't dick that quickly,"
Crosswhite said. "Maybe there were
some cobwebs."
Maybe, but there shouldn't be any
worries in the minds of Oregon fans.
The Ducks are a faster team than last
season. It will just take some time for the
starting five to get used to one another.
Once that happens, watch out.
• It was good to see Ed O'Bannon
back at McArthur Court.
He scored 21 points to lead EA
Sports. It wasn't, however, the fact that
he scored so many points or grabbed 10
rebounds.
Having O'Bannon back in McArthur
Court was a sign of the good times of
the Pacific-10 Conference. His presence
harkened back to the days when UCLA
was competitive.
The Bruins have been a shell of
what they once were. A lack of quality
recruiting and less-than-stellar atti
tudes have doomed UCLA in the past
few seasons, dropping it to the bot
tom of the conference.
If the 2003-04 season can be a differ
ent one this season in Los Angeles, it
will benefit the Pac-10 as a whole
Granted, nobody in Eugene prob
ably wants to see the Bruins back at
the top again, but a more competi
tive UCLA would mean better games
at McArthur Court. And as we've
found out with the Bowl Champi
onship Series, strength of schedule
really does count.
Imagine if Oregon was bumped
from a No. 6 seed to a No. 8 seed in the
NCAA tournament this year because of
strength of schedule. That could hap
pen if the Pac-10 has a down year.
• I don't know what was a bigger
mismatch: Watching Jordan Oathes
— the University freshman who won
an EA Sports contest last week to be
able to suit up for the team — trying
to box out Oregon's AcfaAf^fn or
the Ducks' secondary against Arizona
State earlier this season.
Tough call.
