USA Today Coaches Poll - 10/2/2005
Penn State enters the list for the first time in a while at #18 after whipping - up on the Might Gophers from Minnesota (44-14). Next week they host the BUCKS in State College. I think the AP poll has them at #16.
Texas Tech is way too high at #13, even after beating a strong Kansas squad yesterday. They only scored 30 points! What gives?
Bama cracks the TOP - 10. Nebraska looks to be just outside the Top - 25 looking in. Notre Dame is at #12 with a bye week coming up before hosting the Trojans on the 15th. Seems like old - times with Bama, Nebraska, Penn State, and Notre Dame returning to form so far this season. The times are a changin' - that's for sure.
But USC is still the team to beat. Yesterday's win in the desert marks 13 straight wins over ranked teams dating back to 2002 when they last lost to #17 Washington State. Wow! These guys are still good. But they need to start playing 60 minutes of football or - uh oh!
