Everybody take a deep breath. Now that we’re done comparing Tyler Hansen to every other mobile QB that made it big, it’s time for us to step back and realize that it was a great win on Saturday, but there’s still a lot of tough football ahead of the Buffs. The door is still open for the Buffs to be a player in the Big 12 North, but there are still a lot of questions. Hansen looked fantastic on Saturday, but he’s bound to make mistakes as the season moves on. I’m looking forward (a bit nervously) to how he performs in Manhattan on Saturday. If he repeats the performance he had against KU, the Buffs should be in pretty good position to turn their season around and get to a bowl game. If not, we’ll be in the same spot next week of trying to figure this team out.

The Blogpoll for this week is below. I’ve moved all undefeated teams to the top and shuffled a few others around. This is an odd season and difficult to rank. Before long, I’m just going to have to start drawing teams out of a hat.
