    what happened the last time we beat the #3 team in the country in the first game of the year.
    At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

    I think they were so disheartened by the loss they stunk up the rest of the season. Similar thing happened to Washington last year.

      All I know is LAST time we came off of a national-title loss to open with an embarrassing upset from a MWC mid-major, we went on to an 8-4 season.

            Here are the worst seasons by teams ranked in the preseason top 5. Bama was 1-12 due to forfeiture.

            Code:
            Season	Team	      Rank	Wins	Losses	Ties
            1993	Alabama	        2	1	12	0
            1956	Notre Dame	3	2	8	0
            1954	Illinois	5	1	8	0
            2000	Alabama	        3	3	8	0
            1967	Michigan St.	3	3	7	0
            1976	Arizona St.	3	4	7	0
            1984	Pittsburgh	3	3	7	1
            1981	Notre Dame	3	5	6	0
            1999	Arizona	        4	6	6	0
            2005	Tennessee	3	5	6	0
            Everything in life is an approximation.
