     I agree.  I believe is K-State played Nevada in Manhattan they would win about like we did.  Auburn would dominate Nevada.

     Another good point.  A win is a win we'll certainly take it but Nevada isn't that good.  The are severely lacking in depth.  I would hate to think what USC would do to them.  They were ranked 52nd before yesterday's game.

     Prior to the game using the rankings from the URL above K-State was ranked 59th.  K-State wouldn't appear to be very good this year on paper but yesterday's game may indicate otherwise.  My best guess about Michigan is it was just one of those days.  If those two teams played again in the Big House A-State might be hard pressed to come within 30 points of Michigan.  It will be interesting to see if Michigan is even in the top 25.
