Phil Steele says no dice for Huskers in AP


Recommended Posts

Phil Steele has released his projections for the AP Top 25. He claims he was 25-of-25 in predicting it last year. Hopefully he won't be perfect this year, cause if he is, there will be no mention of Nebraska in the ratings.

 

Michigan State is a top 10 team and Wisky gets some love too.

 

Here is the link to the ESPN video.

Not a huge surprise, but we shouldn't be far off. A solid bowl win, returning talent, health at the QB position, a schedule that isn't particularly scary. I can understand any analyst being shy on NU but they'd be wrong in sleeping on us this year, IMO. This team should be Top 15 by the end of the regular season. If the postseason goes well, this'll be the year the analysts stop sleeping on NU.

 

Their goal is to project, but they're always reactionary.

They only bad thing about not being ranked by Steele, is that he is considered one of the best at his job. More thorough than most. That would mean he has very little hope from what he has seen.

 

I never put a lot of stock into any of these predictions. But it is concerning he has such low expectations for Nebraska. He normally gives Bo some pretty good words, and normally is pretty close to the end of the year results. Not being ranked, would most likely mean 9 or less wins in his eyes.

This isn't Steele's rankings. This is what he thinks the AP will do.
