It's true that all fan bases (I guess by definition) have some component of fanaticism. But I know several Arizona fans and, if their reactions are more indicative of the reactions to the drubbing by Oregon, I don't think they would feel the least bit of resentment if they were hypothetically left out of an 8 team playoff this year. They feel a LOT like Charlie Brown after Lucy pulls the football away.
