You seriously can't be surprised by this. Before the season began, The media was hyping the hell out of UCLA and I was laughing my ass off! I figure them for at least 3 losses, probably 4.
No I'm not surprised at all. I wasn't buying the hype either. I figured they'd have a season about on par with last year. Instead they've actually regressed.

Their current top four: Mississippi State, Florida State, Auburn, Ole Miss
Oregon is 5th, Alabama 6th
Of course either Auburn or Ole Miss is going to fall out this Saturday.
