The Bottom Ten is free this week, but that will change next week.
The Bottom Ten/NCAA Week 3
By Gaylon Kent – America’s Funniest Guy™
It’s the oldest of Bottom Ten mantras: next loser up.
With Northwestern sending regrets for defense of their 2022 Bottom Ten title by winning, it’s Nebraska taking the top spot in race for the ESPNCup – symbolic of NCAA Bottom Ten supremacy – with a spirited, turnover-filled loss to Colorado.
Elsewhere, Fort Lewis dodged a bullet in their quest for keeping the Continental Cup – issued to the team with the longest all-division losing streak in NAFTA sphere of influence – keeping their streak alive with a loss to an NAIA school.
This week’s mess:
1. Nebraska (0-2; lost to Colorado 36-14)
Mitigating Factors: New head coach with lose-now-or-else mandate continues to impress with second straight inspired loss…Offense showing way to B-10 glory in 2023, ranking 120th or worse in three (3) categories, including 126th in Scoring Offense (12.0 ppg) while Total Team Effort (TTE) sees Huskers ranking Dead Last in Turnover Margin (-3.00).
FunFact: Huskers face dangerously winnable games the next two (2) weeks before diving into usual Big-18 conference drubbings.
Next Loss: Northern Illinois
