North Texas Forty (0-1) For all of the talk of the Greatest Opening Weekend Ever and the pats on the backs of the folks in Atlanta, Green Bay and Arlington for putting together great early season matchups, we here at Bottom 10 HQ are feeling a little slighted. We worked hard to get this earliest-ever Pillow Fight of the Week on the calendar between North Texas and SMU, both of whom finished last year in the top bottom six of the Bottom 10. And while Jerry Jones and Chick-Fil-A may have offered up millions of dollars to book their teams, we simply offered a promise to the winner of our game that they would receive: (A) A free pass from our Week 1 rankings and (B) a sandwich bag full of tokens from Chuck-E-Cheese. So, if you need Chad Morris, he'll be at the Skee-Ball pit.

ESPN published there bottom 10 for the week.. We are not ranked but in the receiving votes ESPN Bottom 10 1. Kansas (0-3) The Nayhawks suffered their record 31st straight road loss, falling to Rutgers in Pillow Fight of the Week of the Year II. It was a game that made "Fantastic Four " look like "The Shawshank Redemption." At one point there was a goal-line play where two officials called offsetting penalties while another signaled touchdown. Then KU intercepted a Rutgers pass in the end zone and followed that up with consecutive plays of a self-recovered fumble and an interception. Then the Jayhawks had a would-be touchdown called back for a substitution infraction when Big Jay accidentally wandered onto the field as he was doing the nae nae. OK, I made the last one up. But be honest, you totally believed it happened, didn't you? 2. New Mexico State (0-3) The Other Aggies failed to cover the spread against the Open Date University Fightin' Byes. This weekend brings the Rio Grande Rivalry, also known as the Battle of I-25 because that's the highway NMSU will use as it travels to Albuquerque to face archenemy New Mexico. They've been playing since 1894, a full 18 years before New Mexico became a state. After the game, tradition states that Pistol Pete and Lobo Louie meet at the 50-yard line and the loser has to keep a live armadillo inside his mascot head until next year's game. 3. Why,oming? (0-4) The Cowboys served as New Mexico's warm-up act before the Battle of I-25. This weekend Wyoming travels to Appalachian State for the Battle of I-80 East to I-29 South to I-70 East to I-64 East to I-57 South to I-24 East to I-40 East to I-81 North. 4. UMass (0-3) Best coach's news conference of the weekend? After a trip to South Bend, Indiana, that resulted in a 62-27 loss but a check for a million bucks, head Mass man Mark Whipple said, flatly, "Their varsity was better than our varsity. Their JV was better than our JV ... We'll take the money and run." Thankfully, that's not what the actual Minutemen said at Lexington and Concord. 5. UT(s) (1-3) (2-2)The University of Texas and the University of Tennessee like to feud about who should rightfully own the abbreviation "UT". In the span of one 10-minute Saturday afternoon horror show, all the Horns and Vols proved they were worthy of was jointly nailing down the Highly Coveted No. 5 Spot. Besides, the residents of Utah would like to point out that they are the ones who have the legal right to use "UT" whenever and wherever they want. And their flagship school's win-loss record remains Un-Touched. Waiting list: FA(not I)U (1-3), Rutgers (2-2), North Texas Forty (0-3), Georgia State Not Southern (1-2), Tejas State (1-2), Van-duh-bilt (1-3), UNLV (1-3), Fres-No State (1-3), Arizona's state pride.
