Some surprising results this weekend have led to a shift in the power rankings. But not at the top.

3. USF (2-0). OK, seriously. For three and a half quarters, the Bulls deserved to lose at Nevada, where the Wolf Pack racked up 549 total yards and led for all but the final 38 seconds of the game. That makes one lackluster showing against Chattanooga and one near-loss to Nevada. Gotta drop you. Previous ranking: 2.

Gotta love AA

She's right.

Watching the Nevada game nothing screamed USF is great.

Our offense looked pretty good, but our defense looked as sieve-like as ever.

The swiss cheese defensive line concerns me. Our DB's have surprisingly stepped up, as I thought that would be this team's achilles heel.

I have no problem with the statement that USF was outplayed for most of the game or that they were fortunate to win. I do not care about power rankings as the have no meaning. What I do have a problem is her acting like Nevada are a bunch of crumb bums. Aren't they one of the few teams to beat Boise St. the last couple of years? Did they not beat Cal at Cal. Oh wait.... They are not part of ESPN's "Big 5" so they must suck....

Stats are funny things, when you break them down they sometimes tell a different story. Nevada had 208 yds in the 1st quarter, quarters 2 through 4: 347 (according to the stats on espn.) USF through 1 had 135 yds, 2 through 4: 430. After the 1st quarter, our "swiss cheese" defense clamped down quite a bit. It all depends on how you look at it. Also, instead of painting a negative picture, we could paint the we never gave up on each other, and we showed that we have what it takes to win the last minute games, something that we didn't have last year. It's all about perspective.

No argument here. Lets go out and **** on Rutgers.

I think the team is progressively getting better.. Seem to be hunkering down, I expect to see a stronger team on Thursday night.

I have no problem with anything she said or dropping in her meaningless power ranking.

We did enough to win. That's good enough for me.

The things that are concerning are:

13 penalties

4 errors on special teams.

The defense gave up the 2nd highest total yards.

Couldn't stop the run up the middle all day.
