Michigan and USC punished severely.

Alabama slips only 6/5 spots????
Tennessee slips only 4/5 spots????
 
Interesting. So I’d say there’s no doubt our loss hurt Michigan. If we won, we’d probably have crashed through pretty far and Washington would get more respect.

The bright side? There’s probably quicker ground to make up that you’d think if we can convert next week. Right now it seems we’re a mile from top 25 but winning tends to get folks thinking. And as a stand alone (if it were that) there’s a lot to consider about our loss.

Forget the damn bad spot on the TD. Forget even Black’s drop. It was a weird game. Wind gusts making FGs impossible. One team can’t make them even on normal days - weather def helped them. 95 degree heat day in October and they get a shaded sideline sticking us right in the sun. A lot of obscurity in this game all of which would start getting pointed out if we turn things right around. Of course, if we lose next week, we’re just a mediocre 4-2 team hoping to get to a bowl. Next week is huge for the trajectory of the season.
