Running of the Tables

Dave Reardon writes about the possibility that Hawaii may just win every game from here on out.
At first glance, it looks relatively easy for the team with the nation's most productive offense, including an O-line that one NFL scout called the best in the nation. We're looking at 12-2 and the best record in school history, right?

Not so fast, says the most efficient quarterback in the country.

"One thing I learned from this week is that anyone you play has a chance to step up and have a great game and give you a run," said Colt Brennan, after passing for five touchdowns for the fourth time this season. "On our schedule right now, it may look like we have a great chance to run the table, but we can't expect anything.

"We gotta work hard and go get it. Next week we have Idaho at home and they've actually been doing real well. I think they played Boise pretty tough. We've got another turnaround, another big game."
Glad we're not overlooking anybody.

Dave Reardon also has another installment of Warrior Replay. Here's one of the replays:
2. Hot route

The Setup: Hawaii 7, New Mexico State 0; around 6:30 remaining, first quarter; Hawaii ball, first and goal at New Mexico State 34.

The Play: New Mexico State comes with a blitz. Hawaii receiver Ross Dickerson reads it and breaks off his route as a safety valve and quarterback Colt Brennan dumps it off to him. Dickerson slips out of a tackle and goes 34 yards for his first of two touchdowns on the night and Brennan's first of five scoring passes.

The Impact: Brennan's eighth consecutive completion to start the game gives Hawaii a 14-0 lead and serves notice it will be a long evening for New Mexico State's defense.

Brennan: "It's great when you're a quarterback and throw a 5-yard pass and Ross goes and gets you a 40-yard touchdown."
Great breakdowns. Now alls we needs is accompanying video!

And as for rankings, Hawaii:

is ranked 37th in the BCS poll

received 2 votes in the AP poll

received 7 votes in the USA Today poll

remains 30th in the CFN poll

Any other poll I missed?

UPDATE:
Yes, I did. Thanks to Anonymous, here are two more.

Hawaii is ranked 36th in the CBS Sportsline Poll.

And Hawaii received three votes in the Harris Interactive Poll, which is included in the BCS formula.
