A look at the top 25

With three games down, (which is creeping up on 1/4 of the season already done) let's take a look at the top 25, and hypothesize how the huskers would do if matched up with any of these teams.

I usually do a preview of the upcoming opponent, but this week's match up with SDSU is laughable at best. With the jackrabbits ranking towards the bottom of the FCS division, the Huskers have a greater chance of losing the red-white game than this one. Although, one stat for you, SDSU's placekicker is 1/5 on the season on field goal attemps. So even if it's close, we won't have to worry about getting beat with a last second field goal.

On to the polls: For credibility purposes we'll be using the coaches poll. AP writers would vote Notre Dame and USC into the championship every year if they could.

#1 Alabama: Ingram and company would most likely roll (tide) the Huskers. Hate to say it, but the D Line is suspect and looks like a run heavy offense could push them around up front. I don't want to completely count the Husker's out, but it would take an improved effort up front.

#2 Ohio State: This one is a toss up. For some reason I think the blackshirts could stop Pryor, while Martinez and company score points on their D. Luckily, the Huskers and Buckeyes will get to see how they match up with each other in just little over a year. Big 10, here we come.

#3 Boise State: Honestly. F*ck these f*cking blue donkey f*ucks. Try playing legit teams and then maybe someone will respect you. We all learned at an early age that you don't get street cred by whooping up in 6th graders,...when your a junior in highschool. Try playing a whole schedule of legit teams, instead of hanging your hat one signature win against VaTech. This weekend I'm a beaver fan.

#4 Texas: This year the Huskers wont need 60:01 to win the game. I look forward to the defense shutting down that junior high offense they have going there, and making Garrett Bieber wish Colt McCoy was still the one getting thrown around like a rag doll.

#5 TCU: See Boise State. Except I can actually stand you guys. Partially because you don't have blue turf, and partially because you aren't cry babies from Idaho.

#6 Oregon: High powered Oregon Offense, meets lockdown, ball hawking blackshirts. This one's a toss up. At least the Oregon duck could be confident that he would be doing FAR LESS pushups than he is used to.

#7 Nebraska: This is a pretty accurate rating for the Huskers thus far.

#8 Florida: Sorry Gaytors, Jesus is now a Broncos fan. Have fun in the top ten while it lasts. You'll finish the year probably ranked in the teens or 20's.

#9 Oklahoma: Wish the Huskers and the Sooners could meet up this year. Will probably happen in the last Big XII Championship game, and will be settled then. Oklahoma has been up and down thus far and failed to beat Nebraska last year. The way the team has looked so far this year I would say the Huskers have the edge. Time will tell in this matchup.

#10 Wisconsin: To this point they have not impressed. I welcome the future matchups between the Badgers and the Huskers in the "Who's the REAL big red Bowl". Huskers win this one.

#11 Arkansas: This weeks matchup with Alabama-Arkansas will tell us more about this team. No denying they have a talented QB, but ask Jake Locker how much that helps. Huskers win.

#12 LSU: Geaux Tigers. While they will be battle tested in the SEC, the combination of blackshirt D, and explosive ground game, I think the Huskers win this game. Husker's couldn't let Bo get beat by his old team.

#13 Utah: Really? The Utes? Go play with TCU and Boise State.

#14 Auburn: Gene Chizik can run, but he can't hide. Husker's make Gene think he is back at Iowa State.

#15 South Carolina: Like Gene, The Husker's remind Spurrier how fun it is to play them. Maybe he could keep this one closer that 62-24.

#16 Arizona: This matchup is so 2009. Will Arizona be able to score a point this time? Husker's remind the Wildcats, how it is run, Husker style.

#17 Stanford: Toby's gone. It's nice while it lasted, now go back to where you came from. Your mascot is a tree for god's sake.

#18 Iowa: Nice showing against Arizona. Hope you're ready for the first annual Farmageddon next year. The Husker's show them how it's done.

#19 Miami: They may have SWAG, but Jacory also has an interception problem. Not a good thing while playing such an opportunistic defense. Huskers roll the Canes in a National Championship rematch.

#20 Penn State: Looks like a new rival in the making. Look forward to these matchups and hopefully can make it out the Happy Valley in the future, but the Huskers have the edge in this place and time. Joe Pa needs to go. All good horses get put out to pasture eventually.

#21 West Virginia: Who?

#22 Michigan: Someone tell that QB to tie his shoes. Another great football matchup for the Huskers in the future. Right now the Husker's are a better team period.

#23 Michigan State: If they can beat up your big brother, they can beat you up too. Sorry Spartans, but it took you a trick play in overtime to beat Notre Lame.

#24 Missouri- MIZ-WHO? Let's hope this year's game isn't played in a downpour. Delusional missery fans have already played out that excuse for losing. Also, their star QB Gabbert seems to have a problem over throwing his receivers. Not to mention it took the tigers until the last minute to beat SDSU last week. Remind me why these guys are ranked again?

#25 Oklahoma State: While their stats look good so far, I have always heard that there are three types of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics. Anyone who tells you that the Cowboys would beat the Huskers would use all three.

There you have it. A completely biased, uneducated, and half-hearted look at the top 25. What would you change?
