"Georgia, Cal, USC and Oregon"
I love the positive attitude, but considering that we only beat one of those teams last year, and that Georgia could possibly be the #1 team in the nation when they come to Tempe this year, I'd say pulling for us to win 2 games through that stretch is a pretty reasonable wish. When we manage to beat a team like USC once, THEN I'll start to see 4-0 vs. a tough stretch like that as a realistic expectation. I agree that those teams "should" be anxious about playing us, but right now they really have no reason to be, outside of the possibility of an upset.
I don't want to get "college of arizona-itis," where fans expect 9 wins when they can't even get 6. I expect to beat Oregon and Cal and to play it close vs. USC and Georgia, mindful that wins over either of the latter two teams would rank highly among the greatest wins in our program's history.
