2010 College Football Top 25: Week 5

Under my previous website, I would write under the alias “His Dirkness,” which may still pop up from time to time. One thing that cannot be changed is the sacred ‘Dirkness 25.’

I believe it’ll be important to not only cover the Huskers on this site, but to cover the wide spectrum of College Football, to give everything I write about Nebraska its proper context.

I am also big into rankings and statistics. I believe you can always find the story of a game if you dig deep enough into the statistics of it. After each Dirkness 25 I post I will follow it with some statistical analysis that at least one person will find rather interesting.

On to the rankings…
