A close win is still a valid win

UCLA"s drop in the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today polls is
a travesty.

Why should we get punished for proving our football team can
perform offensively and defensively in clutch situations while
teams like Tennessee and Kansas State have the privilege of
feasting on their weaker schedule?

I don"t see our school rising in the rankings after a referee"s
error cost us an upset over the Volunteers last year. I don"t see
us rising over other schools after a near-victory over Washington
State in 1997. Nor do I expect to.

A win is a win, and a loss is a loss. Any championship team
would benefit from a win, whether it was a blowout or a victory
snatched from the jaws of defeat.

This team is no different, and that is something this country
will have to realize soon.
