Buffs.tv Blogpoll – Week 3
filed in Rankings on Sep.18, 2007
Wow. After a number of upsets and bad wins, the poll this week has once again been jumbled around. A couple of notes:
- USC jumps back to #1 after dismantling Nebraska in Lincoln. While it’s not nearly the challenge that it used to be, it’s still impressive to blow out the Huskers at home. As a side note, the Corn has dropped out of my poll as I’m not swayed by their name and the past like the voters in the national polls. As demonstrated over the last two weeks, this is just not that good of a team.
- Texas takes a nose dive after barely handling Central Florida. If the Longhorns keep this up, they’re in for a hurting against OU in a few weeks.
- Alabama and Kentucky join the poll after impressive wins in their rivalry games. Because of the rivalries, Louisville and Arkansas don’t drop out completely.

You say the huskers are “just not that good of a team” but you jump USC two places in the poll? You contradict yourself, Gampp. Go blow a goat.

What about Air Force. My hats off to the flyboys. I think they should crack the list

Not that I need to justify myself to someone as classy as yourself, but maybe you should re-read the post. I’m impressed with how USC dismantled the Huskers. Even in down years, it’s tough to beat Nebraska at home with their fan support. USC not only won, but did so in a blowout (I don’t count the garbage touchdowns against the Trojans’ reserves). Nebraska looked terrible against Wake Forest and then crapped the bed against USC. I don’t think that there is anyone on my top 25 list that Nebraska can beat on a neutral field.
