I also feel that there's a non-zero chance that either USC or Colorado will lose this weekend... in fact, I'm expecting it!

In hindsight, this was a lay-up and I don't deserve much credit for it.  I was actually more expecting Colorado to lose than USC, because the opposition was stronger than their record, 5-0 doesn't really prove much, and teams often lose when they start to whine about things they can't control.  

UCLA is really improving on defense and I wouldn't be surprised to see them beat SC today, too.  I'd say that game's a toss-up.  Wouldn't it be ironic for the Pac-12 if both SC and Colorado lose this weekend?

Ironic isn't the word I'd use; nor expected.  But it's not THAT surprising, is it?  There is a lot of mediocre-average in the P12, with some heee-inus sprinkled in (see Arizona).

SC needed a last minute TD to beat Arizona (who have now fired their coach).

SC also needed a last minute TD-onside kick-TD to beat ASU by 1 point. ASU then whooped Arizona by 63.

We beat Cal, who beat Oregon, who beat us.

We just beat Oregon State, who beat Oregon, who beat us.

The transitive property doesn't work in CFB.
