nhuskers5 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 You guys think that NU will be ranked by either the end of the season or the end of the bowl season. And if so, what place Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Depends on who we play in the bowl and if we win or not. No higher than around 22 IF we end up ranked Quote Link to comment
skersRmyteam Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 hopefully anywhere in the top 25 Quote Link to comment
NebHusker72 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yes, if we win out.....somewhere in the 20's but probably depends a lot on who we play. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 We'll be ranked if we win out. Probably 24 or 25. Quote Link to comment
MOD_CHAMPION Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Also depends on how many of the rated teams 15-25 lose their bowl games. Quote Link to comment
Huskerballz Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Even if we are ranked at the end of the season, we won't even sniff next year's preseason polls. We lose too many valuable players for the media to think we'll be better. Quote Link to comment
NebHusker72 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Eh, preseason polls mean absolutely jack in the end. Quote Link to comment
skersRmyteam Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Eh, preseason polls mean absolutely jack in the end. still would look cool to see a number in front of our name... haven't seen that or a while Quote Link to comment
NebHusker72 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Eh, preseason polls mean absolutely jack in the end. still would look cool to see a number in front of our name... haven't seen that or a while I agree but at the end of the season! Quote Link to comment
LouisianaHuskerFan Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 We will definetly be ranked as long as we beat CU and then win our bowl game. Probably just in the top 25 but I will take that. GBR!! Quote Link to comment
huskerdude171 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Werent we ranked in 05 after we beat Michigan?? We were 24th or 25th or something and 8-4. So I would assume 9-4 and beating someone good or decent could get us ranked. But we still have to play two more games so we'll see once we get our bowl game. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Eh, preseason polls mean absolutely jack in the end. What do you mean??? Preseason AP 1. Georgia - 2 losses 2. Ohio St. - 2 losses 3. USC - OK, possible Nat Champ contender 4. Oklahoma - OK, possible Nat Champ contender 5. Florida - OK, possible Nat Champ contender 6. Missouri - Kinda OK 7. LSU - 7-3, 3-3 in SEC...not sure how still ranked 8. West Virginia - 6-3, unranked 9. Clemson - 5-4, 3-4 in ACC, unranked 10. Auburn - 5-6, 2-5 in SEC, unranked 11. Texas - Nat. Champ contender 12.

BOBELIEVER Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 i think they'll crack the top 25 after Colorado if they beat them bad enough... but two more wins ending up with a 9-4 record and a five game winning streak should put them in the top 25 for sure Quote Link to comment
