I'm guessing 10 to 12..............I was hoping more would lose in the Top 10, damn USC and Air Force!

yea...we beat 2 top 15 teams......but the game right before those 2 carries some weight also. i will guess 11th and be happy with that

Tyler Stimson votes in the ESPN-U NCAA College Football Top 25 poll. This is his individual ballot, not a prediction of what the top 25 will be in the AP or Coaches poll.

forward progress? wtf? how are there ever any fumbles then? i would think forward progress ruling could be used to overrule 99.9% of all fumbles in college football if it applies the same as it did on this play.

yea....at least 1 suspension. maybe 2

sniff....sniff....i smell a troll

i guess the Eagles are off the list of teams that niles wants to play for at the next level.

i thought he was trying to make the visitors from shaggybevo feel at home.

Dear Lord, the battles we go through life,

We ask for a chance that's fair,

A chance to equal our stride,

A chance to do or dare,

If we should win, let it be by the code,

Faith and Honor held high,

If we should lose, we'll stand by the road,

And cheer as the winners go by.

DAY BY DAY, WE GET BETTER AND BETTER

THE TEAM THAT CAN'T BE BEAT, WON'T BE BEAT!

martinez still starts....but the hook is always ready if he is having a bad game.

our passing game looks better than i thought it was. the qb's put the ball where our guys could catch it against a great texas secondary.....unfortunately no one in red would catch the passes.

grats on winning the bragging rights over us forever.

when was this picture taken? i am guessing late in the 4th quarter?

Now they drop us?!?! That makes sense, don't drop us at all after an abysmal game against a FCS school last week, but then mark us down a spot when we don't even play a game! Anyone else think these polls are wacky?

ehh.....i think oklahoma was impressive enough in thier win agaiunst texas to jump over us. not a big deal really. still plenty of season left to figure out where everyone belongs. if we take care of business we will be up there in the top 5. if we lose we will drop a lot. just the way college football rankings go.

if we take care of business we will look good enough

It's not that outrageous? The writer compared Boise State to Abe Lincoln, Bobby Kennedy, and MLK. He then suggested Utah and BYU left the Mountain West in order to stick it to Boise State. He THEN suggested that TCU's possible move to the Big East or Big 12 would also be driven by a motivation to keep Boise State out of the BCS. And all the while, he's suggesting that Alabama, Ohio State, and Nebraska are orchestrating each one of these moves because they're afraid of Boise State. Once again, I'm going to have to go with a

I see your . Allow me to contribute.

The money was never the issue. You're fooling yourself if you think Nebraska cares about the difference between 800K and 1M. They make over $5M per home game. Heck, ESPN supposedly even offered to pay the difference in return for being able to carry the game in the time slot of their choosing. The real issue was Nebraska not wanting to add a game of this caliber with decent OOC games against Washington and Fresno already set, especially with the Nebraska QB situation being a big mystery (at the time of the initial talks, Lee was the expected starter for '10, leaving the '11 picture a crapshoot) and Boise returning one of the nation's top players for his senior season (Moore).

 

Not wanting to look bad, Nebraska made a PR stunt by offering Boise a 2 and 1 series (with no money exchanged) they knew Boise would turn down (the deal would be worth about $10M for Nebraska vs. $2M for Boise). Then someone in the media (Shatel) falls for the ploy and hundreds of thousands of OWH readers follow suit.

This is such a load of crap it's hard to believe anyone buys it.

 

So you think the $200K was just too much for Nebraska to bear? Psh. Now that's hard to buy. Everything in my post is pretty well documented if you're willing to look at sources outside the OWH. If not, you're free to keep naively believing that Boise is somehow terrified to play us, or greedy for wanting one-fifth of Nebraska's revenue for a game.

you're telling us ESPN said they were going to pay the $200k difference and boise didnt accept the offer instantly? not that's hard to buy.

dang.....what is in the blue koolaid?

This is the perfect storm and a fascinating year because we are now viewed as the team that symbolizes revolutionary change.

Any protected establishment fears revolutionaries. Fear them enough to kill. HIstory is certainly witness to this.

The fact that we are receiving exponentially more hatred & rhetorical rage than when we were the lovable underdog -- should not come as a big surprise.

Alabama, Ohio State and Nebraska are not only 3 of the best CFB teams -- they also have 3 of the largest fan bases -- and they all want the Crystal trophy.

The NC game is their Super Bowl and they do not want little Boise State anywhere near it. And yes, right now they hate us because we are agents of change. It is not personal -- it is the threat that we now represent. A threat to their sacred Crystal Football.

This threat is more real with the Va Tech and Oregon State victories paired with ESPN Game Day, The SI cover this week, etc. They were banking on a Boise State loss to Va Tech in DC. I don't think they really believed it would go this far. But here we are. Now Boise State is an imminent threat to shatter a comfortable world that has been around much longer than the BCS.

To the SEC we are Abraham Lincoln, Bobby Kennedy and MLK all rolled into one...so get used to the hatred. It is not going away if we keep winning impressively. We are the threat. All other threats have been or are being dealth with.

The establishment is buying off Utah and TCU. BYU is going it alone, trying to follow Notre Dame. Yet, because we are still a little too small -- so the BCS star chamber can't really buy us out right now -- so they must find a way to take us down a couple notches.

None of this is happening by mistake. These moves are being carefully ochestrated. For example, it is no mistake that TCU was approached by the Big East as opposed to the Big12. Why? Because the BCS kills 2 birds with one stone: 1. Get TCU out of the picture 2. Shore up a dreadful Big East.

The media is kind of our only friend right now. Yet, they too will turn on a dime if we stumble in the least. Good theatre for sure.

Don't let the local media fool you... Nebraska had a chance to play Boise in Lincoln next year scot-free and didn't want anything to do with a Senior Kellen Moore. Osborne thought the schedule was tough enough as is, and that's fine.

 

 

really? i thought boise wanted $1mil and we only would pay $800k so they declined.

Nebraska 24

k. state 17

rushing 310

passing 115

If Bama and OSU stay undefeated that will be our NC. If a PAC-10 team or Big XII team goes undefeated they will jump Boise.

if nebraska ends up being the undefeated big 12 champ....i don't know that our SOS is that much stronger than BSU's....would we get in ahead of BSU? i don't think so.

"So far, No. 3 Boise State has beaten two ranked foes (Virginia Tech and Oregon State). If No. 25 Nevada continues its torrid play over the next two months, the Broncos could well face a third ranked team on Nov. 26. Meanwhile, the sixth-ranked Huskers could feasibly end up playing ... none.
