Will NU be ranked by the end of the season?

[nhuskers5]

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

[tattooedhusker]

Depends on who we play in the bowl and if we win or not. No higher than around 22 IF we end up ranked

[skersRmyteam]

hopefully anywhere in the top 25

[NebHusker72]

Yes, if we win out.....somewhere in the 20's but probably depends a lot on who we play.

[Igetbored216]

We'll be ranked if we win out. Probably 24 or 25.

[MOD_CHAMPION]

Also depends on how many of the rated teams 15-25 lose their bowl games.

[Huskerballz]

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.

[NebHusker72]

Eh, preseason polls mean absolutely jack in the end.

I agree but at the end of the season!

[LouisianaHuskerFan]

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!!

[huskerdude171]

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.

[BOBELIEVER]

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
