By Paul Casey Gotham Nevada in the top 25 One week after a convincing 52-13 beat down of Cal the Nevada Wolfpack did their BTO impersonation and "took care of business" knocking off BYU, 27-13. The win and a 4-0 record earned the Wolfpack a top 25 spot in both the AP and Coaches' poll for the first time since 1948.
