I am GLORIOUS Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 All-too-familiar territory. Can't really blame them, though. Until we prove ourselves capable of beating a team with a pulse, we don't belong in the Top 25. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Ummmm, aren't #5 through #25 pretty much irrelevant? Well, except maybe for bragging rights I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment

For a technical answer #5 through 25 can make the difference between who goes to a NY6 bowl or not. Florida St. hopping Louisville at #12 means they'll end up in the Orange Bowl most likely....despite losing 63-20 and everything... 1 Quote Link to comment

Everything ranked below #4 is incredibly subjective, superiority is open to debate and nobody will ultimately agree. Quote Link to comment

Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas, Notre Dame, Texas A&M were l ranked pretty highly at one time. Who gives a sh#t unless we are like 1st-6th? 1 Quote Link to comment

jaws Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 How is Tennessee still ranked? 1 Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 We have been for the last 9 years, damned near every year, this was just another dig at the staff. Nothing more. Everyone on this board knew the results. It was not earth shattering information that all were waiting for. 1 Quote Link to comment

The reality is that the rankings fon't make two squats unless you are in the top 4 before the playoff. The final rankings give a little bump for recruiting and next seasons perception. Honestly, we wi our bowl and finish 10-3 we will probay be 20th or so. 1 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan74 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 As much as it hurts me, I have to admit that the committee got it right. There are a number of 8-4 teams that are ranked that can definitely kick our butt. Heck, even Iowa who beat us soundly did not get ranked, which shows you how much the committee thinks of us. After the Wisconsin loss, we barely dropped two spots and remained ranked in the top ten because it was a competitive game. After the Ohio State shellacking, they still kept us ranked only for us to prove to them once and for all that we do not belong in the top 25. I know there are many Koolaid drinkers that think the world hates us but in reality, I would argue that these coaches have pissed away every opportunity that was given to them to show they belong. I am willing to bet good money that if we played Pittsburgh (ranked #25), they will kick our asses worse than Iowa. These coaches simply can't coach our guys to a high level. They are average coaches and will produce average results. Next season will be more proof. Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 To be honest, we probably didnt deserve to be ranked as high as we were after the Ohio State loss. Quote Link to comment
