I don't know if it's wishful thinking on my part but I sort of get the feeling that Juno would have been perfectly happy if they lost. The way he was subbing and giving minutes to rooks as well as sitting Perkins for an extended period tells me he wasn't too concerned with winning as he was with figuring out good combinations and exposure for the rookies.
He probably didn't want the pressure of that undefeated season (look what happened to the volleyball team) and he knew it was more important to expose weakness now and finish strong like last year than the other way around (like FEU).
Or maybe I'm just wishing it were so.
