LSU is getting taken to the woodshed against Miss. State. Present day LSU is reminding me alot of 2002-2004 Nebraska

Cal-Ole Miss has been a fun game to watch.

Hell of a finish to the USC-Texas game. Texas looks to have found their quarterback.

Heisman Trophy Winner
Big Ten Power Rankings: Purdue moves up to No. 8 in post-Week 3 poll
1. Penn State (3-0). The Nittany Lions have outscored foes 141-14 with two shutouts. The defense has allowed just one TD.
Last week: 1
Up next: at Iowa
2. Wisconsin (3-0). Alex Hornibrook looked like a Heisman contender Saturday, hitting 18-of-19 passes, the highest completion percentage (.947) in program annals, for 256 yards with four TDs in a 40-6 win at BYU.
Last week: 2
Up next: off; Northwestern, Sept. 30
3. Ohio State (2-1). J.T. Barrett bounced back in a big way with 270 yards passing. But it was vs. Army. Does that count?
Last week: 3
Up next: UNLV
4. Michigan (3-0). The wins keep on coming. But, golly, the offense still isn’t clicking. Is it time to worry?
Last week: 4
Up next: at Purdue
5. Maryland (2-0). The Terrapins are coming off a bye. Will they maintain their mojo?
Last week: 5
Up next: UCF
6. Iowa (3-0). The Hawkeyes were the Hawkeyes last week … grinding, pounding, playing smart. Now comes a huge test. Say “hello” to Penn State.
Last week: 6
Up next: Penn State
7. Minnesota (3-0). Grab an oar and a spot in P.J. Fleck’s boat before it fills up.
Last week: 7
Up next: off; Maryland, Sept. 30
8. Purdue (2-1). The Boilermakers are an early season surprise. It’s amazing what Jeff Brohm is doing with players he didn’t recruit.
Last week: 10
Up next: Michigan
9. Michigan State (2-0). Coming off a bye, the Spartans will look to pick up where they left off in a dominating 2-0 start. The visit from ND will be telling.
Last week: 8
Up next: Notre Dame
10. Indiana (1-1). The Hoosiers had their game cancelled. More prep time for Georgia Southern. Time to pad the resume.
Last week: 9
Up next: Georgia Southern
11. Northwestern (2-1). Welcome back, Wildcats! Nothing like a blowout win vs. a MAC team to make everyone forget an ugly loss at Duke.
Last week: 13
Up next: off; at Wisconsin, Sept. 30
12. Illinois (2-1). This is a young team that’s going to suffer a lot of growing pains this season.
Last week: 11
Up next: off; Nebraska, Sept. 29 (Friday)
13. Nebraska (1-2). That’s two losses in a row for the Cornhuskers, who made strides on defense. But now the offense has issues.
Last week: 12
Up next: Rutgers
14. Rutgers (1-2). The 11-game losing streak is over. Now, it’s time to end the 14-game Big Ten losing streak.

Heisman Trophy Winner
Big Ten Power Rankings: Penn State bolsters case in post-Week 4 list
1. Penn State (4-0). With Superman Saquon on their side, the Nittany Lions are going to be a tough out.
Last week: 1
Up next: Indiana
2. Wisconsin (3-0). If QB Alex Hornibrook keeps playing like he did at BYU (18-of-19 with 4 TDs), the Badgers may not lose a regular season game.
Last week: 2
Up next: Northwestern
3. Michigan (4-0). If you had any lingering doubts about the defense, drop them. It’s legit and scary-good. Can the offense keep improving?
Last week: 4
Up next: off; Michigan State
4. Ohio State (3-1). Five first-half TD passes by J.T. Barrett? Difficult not to be impressed. But can he do it vs. an elite team?
Last week: 3
Up next: at Rutgers
5. Iowa (3-1). Yes, the Penn State loss was a gut-punch. But there is so much to build on in Iowa City. Love QB Nate Stanley.
Last week: 6
Up next: at Michigan State
6. Purdue (2-2). The fact some felt the Boilermakers had a shot to beat Michigan speaks volumes as to how quickly Jeff Brohm has changed expectations.
Last week: 8
Up next: off; Minnesota, Oct. 7
7. Minnesota (3-0). The Golden Gophers look to keep the mojo going after an off week. QB Conor Rhoda is looking good.
Last week: 7
Up next: Maryland
8. Maryland (2-1). Just three games into the season, and the Terrapins already are down to their third-string QB.
Last week: 5
Up next: at Minnesota
9. Michigan State (2-1). The Spartans failed their first big test. But no shame in losing to Notre Dame, which may be good. The jury remains out on MSU.
Last week: 9
Up next: at Michigan
10. Indiana (2-1). The Hoosiers were supposed to rip Georgia Southern. They did. Next!
Last week: 10
Up next: at Penn State
11. Northwestern (2-1). A win in Madison will make everything OK. The recipe for success is simple—keep feeding the ball to RB Justin Jackson.
Last week: 11
Up next: at Wisconsin
12. Nebraska (2-2). No team needed to taste victory more than the Cornhuskers. Now, can they build on that success?
Last week: 13
Up next: at Illinois (Friday)
13. Illinois (2-1). The youth movement is in full force in Champaign. And there will be growing pains.
Last week: 12
Up next: Nebraska (Friday)
14. Rutgers (1-3). Wins still may be difficult to come by, but there’s no doubt the Scarlet Knights have improved.
Last week: 14

SEC SPEED dodged two great fails in the final minute. UTe punted to UMass about five times with only a 5 pt lead but survived by knocking out the Minuteman qb. SCe tumbled into a Hail Mary to set up the winning fg over the other Holtz.
