The Bottom 10
- Share via
It was a week in which the state of Washington seized control of the Bottom Ten. And investigators were poring over land records to see if Moscow, Idaho, home of No. 4 Idaho, wasn’t also in the state of Washington.
Most maps say that Moscow is eight miles from the border. Could this be another Moscow conspiracy?
Elsewhere, Michigan (2-4) clocked in at No. 5 amid accusations that the Woe-verines were trying to impress Bottom Ten voters by stacking their schedule with inept opponents (i.e. 2-4 Toledo).
Off to their worst start in 41 years, the Woe-verines seem to be saying: Look at us. We don’t just lose to teams in the Mid-American Conference teams but fifth-place teams in the Mid-American’s West division.
