NU finished in 2004 unranked. In 2005 we finished #24. In 2006 NU was again unranked at seasons end.

The best we have done under callahan is # 24. Since 2002 we have finished ranked only two times one under Solich/pelini and the other under Callahan.

 

A list:

 

1998 solich Finish #19

1999 solich Finish #3

2000 solich Finish #8

2001 solich Finish #8

2002 Solich Finish unranked

2003 solich/Pelina Finish #19

2004 Callahan Finish unranked

2005 Callahan Finish #24

2006 Callahan Finish unranked

 

For reference: Under Osbourne NU was ranked every year of his career as head coach (from 1973 to 1997). Solich was ranked 5 out of 6 years. NU finished ranked every year but one (2002) from 1969 to 1997 --- a remarkable 28 rankings in 29 seasons --- the most consistent period of excellence in college football history.

 

Since then, NU has been unranked 3 of the past five years. In the Callahan era NU has been unranked 2 out of three seasons with a best performance of a #24.

 

Will this year make 4 of the last six seaons unranked, or will we crack the top 25 when it is all over?

 

 

unranked at season's end.
