And they could have been 8-4 if the refs didn't give Notre Dame a 2 point convert on a play where they were clearly stopped short (in the final 2 minutes), if they didn't have a blown coverage on a hail mary attempt against Arizona St., and they didn't have a tipped pass INT in the last minute (in FG range, down 1) against UCLA.
And let's not forget that it's the Oregon Ducks we're talking about too. A program that won their first Pac-10 crown ever less than 10 seasons ago. College football is cyclical and Oregon isn't one of those programs that is immune to downswings.
