Going into Week 12 I said, “…there appears to be only one game this week that could be considered a real tough one: Stanford vs California. (Well, maybe Oregon vs Arizona or LSU vs Mississippi or BYU vs Air Force or North Carolina vs Boston College.)” (Okay, so the last two weren’t that close…or surprising.)
