I decided it would be best if I just stayed the hell off the internets Sunday, as this loss to Northwestern is hitting a little harder than I thought it would. I'm still somewhat depressed about it - it's not as if I didn't expect Nebraska to lose some games, but this one came out of nowhere. And honestly - I was probably as bad as anyone at making fun of Northwestern going into the game. (I predicted a 56-14 win on THEIR podcast - what an ass, eh?).
The Poll - LSU is obviously a clear-cut #1 team. The lack of offense in the LSU - 'Bama game didn't bother me. Both of those teams have exceptional defenses - any team in the nation would have difficulty scoring on them. Alabama doesn't drop too far - they are still one of the best in the nation.
Arkansas and Virginia Tech drop only because they were slightly overrated last week and I'm not beyond making those corrections now. The rest is up for correction.
