[TGHusker]

It is even nice just to be able to talked about being ranked.   I guess that is progress

We’re not ranked in any poll that matters. The first one was just one individual’s rankings. We were on about 25 people’s top 25s in order to get #31. 

 

Just on the edge.  I'm sure they'll get us at 20 or higher if we smoke Colorado.

Someone better start rowing faster!!

My guess for ranking after this game is #23.

I'm hoping we stay unranked. This team doesn't yet need a bullseye on it.

It would be nice but I don't think we will. We were already #31 in the AP in the point totals. If people truly think Hunter is the best player in the country and Sanders is a 1st rounder, they'll rank us.

We can just take Iowa’s spot, right?

I think this team can handle being ranked.

Meaningless speculation but CBS writer is projecting NU #23.

23. Nebraska (NR): Early in the season, it can be hard to separate assigning credit for a win from blame for a loss, but the eye-popping score on a big stage is going to have AP voters far more likely to boost their opinion of the Cornhuskers. Nebraska not only avenged last season's loss to Colorado but showed its full range of tools to be great in 2024 with Dylan Raiola and a defense that can punish opponents for mistakes.

FauxPelini tweeted that Notre Dame's #5 spot is open now.

A part of me wonders if being ranked is a good thing. Maybe it helps to maintain that focus and energy on every single play regardless of whether we are close, ahead, or behind.

Only time will tell, i cant but help think that they lost there focus in the 2nd half.  Or Rhule took his foot off the gas to save the players from injury.  Being ranked as a fan would be cool though, sure has been a long time coming.
