Just listened to Klatt's way too early Top 10, he has us #3 but what I found interesting is the rest of the teams he has on it:

Texas (our first game)
Oregon (we play in the regular season again)
Penn State (ditto)
TTUN

...to get into the playoffs can't lose more than 2 of those (apparently)

but that would be 4 vice 3 top 5-10 games in the regular season

...I'm not ready yet to stop celebrating Monday night but I did find it interesting...
