When Will the Huskers Be Ranked?

[Branno]

If we can blow out Colorado we have a chance at getting ranked, if not then it we would have to be ranked at 4-0 if we beat Michigan (There are always top 25 teams that lose in their first 4 games).

 Who are some upset candidates in week 1?

 

21 UCF at UCONN 

17 WVU at Tennessee

25 LSU vs 8 Miami

20 VT at 19 FSU

 

Week 2

 

MSU at KSU

 

Week 3

 

UCF at UNC

BSU at OSU

LSU at Auburn

 

Who am I missing in that range?

Maybe week 1 Maryland vs23 Texas, did it last year on the road.

Week 3 Syracuse might play FS well at home.

San jose could be a trap for Oregon, they just do that once in a while.

Texas another chance to drop to USC on the road

TCU vs OSU, though not likely to drop from top 25 unless they loose week 2 to SMU, though unlikely in Texas.

 

Also as mentioned this is what makes the Colorado game all the much bigger, good showing vs them and a couple teams dropping would likely get Huskers into the 22-25th spot. Beat unbeaten UM, easy mid teens, win vs beaten UM  with Huskers 4-0 around 17-20 in the ranks.
