So, uh. About the weekend.
• Four Top 10 teams lost, including No. 1.
• We’re still thinking about five wild finishes
• Upsets throughout every conference

This season, man.https://t.co/Y5q9PXJNMD
Aztecs fall but still remain in Top 25
New AP Top 25 out: San Diego State stays ranked, but slides from No. 22 to No. 25. Nevada and New Mexico, who face off tomorrow in the Pit, both receive 16 points (ostensibly 32nd in the nation). Those 16 points are the most for Nevada this season.

Nevada’s defense is vastly improved, and assistant coach Kory Barnett is a big reason why
Here’s a story on the improvement of the Wolf Pack defense and this is BEFORE holding Air Force to 52 points Saturday night!
