Talk:2011 UCLA Bruins football team

South Champions

 * Winning or losing to USC during the season had nothing to do with UCLA Bruins winning the South Championship. USC's post season ban by the NCAA was the reason the Trojans were not the South Division Champions regardless the margin of victory. It was correctly stated at the USC article lead paragraph "Due to being on probation with the NCAA, the Trojans could not win the Pac-12 South Division title, participate in the conference championship game or play in a bowl game." The margin of victory would not have changed it. Ucla90024 (talk) 13:58, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It makes no sense to mention the score in the lead on UCLA's football page; the game in not significant game to winning the Division title. Even if UCLA lost by 1000 points, the Bruins would be the South Division Champions. But the 11/9 score was significant because it took away USC from the BCS title game. Huge difference.

 * Wrong. Had UCLA won that game then they would have finished FIRST in the South Division.  Because UCLA lost that game, USC was allowed to claim the title of finishing first in the South, according to a release by PAC-12 Commissioner Larry Scott.  The paragraph begins with Nov. 25, then skips any mention of UCLA's game the next day on Nov. 26, but proceeds to discuss every subsequent game, except the historic 50-0 loss to USC.  50-0 was the largest margin in the rivalry in 80 years, and for you to scrub all memory of it from this lead is the sort of REVISIONISM worthy of the "Ministry of Truth."--Kingofthai87 (talk) 01:45, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * You continue to omit any and every reference to the historic 50-0 loss to USC, which led to the firing of the Bruins head coach in the aftermath of the loss and allowed USC to claim "first place" in the South Division, despite not being eligible for post-season play.--Kingofthai87 (talk) 19:14, 23 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Ted Miller of ESPN.com reported " ... from Pac-12 spokesman Dave Hirsch on whether USC can claim the South championship: "USC can not own that title. USC can say that it finished first, but not champion. Our division champions participate in the championship game, so UCLA will be considered champion, or co-champions should it finish tied with ASU." Ucla90024 (talk) 22:00, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
