Baylor and Kansas are both 3-0 and make good cases to be a bit worse than 
our beloved Huskers.  Oklahoma State is 3-0 with wins over Montana State, 
Florida Atlantic and Arkansas State.  They only beat Montana State 15-10 
in their opener.

The B12 has been loading up on a lot of patsies early and the conference's 
overall record is 27-4, half of those losses being by OU.  And it's kind 
of amazing, but the B12 North is 14-1 right now, Missouri's loss to New 
Mexico being the lone setback.  The other loss was A&M losing 25-24 at 
Clemson.

Nice wins include Iowa State beating Iowa and Texas beating Ohio State. 
Our win over Pitt is probably the 3rd best win for the conference right 
now - a little better than CU beating CSU or KSU beating Marshall.

In out of conference games the Big-10 is 27-5, the SEC is 16-4, the Pac-10 
is 20-6, the ACC is 13-5 and the Big East is 13-8.

I think if we beat ISU, we ought to be in the other receiving votes 
category and possibly in the top 25, given that ISU is #22 right now.  If 
we beat TTech too, we should definitely be ranked.  That much being said, 
I'm expecting we'll be 3-2 three weeks from today.
