np_husker Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Don't make too much of this, but the Web site nationalchamps.net already is out with its preseason Top 25 for 2009 -- and it doesn't include Nebraska. Nor can the Huskers be found on a list of 10 others to consider, which does have Notre Dame, Nevada and North Carolina State. The snub seems a little interesting after NU won its last three regular-season games to take an 8-4 record into the Gator Bowl. But the Huskers will be breaking in a new quarterback and replacing a handful of seniors on its offensive and defensive lines. Nationalchamps.net has Florida at No. 1. The highest among Big 12 teams are Texas at No. 3, Oklahoma at No. 4 and Oklahoma State at No. 6. It lists Kansas as the favorite to win the Big 12 North. The site also doesn't list any Huskers among its top 15 players at each position for 2009. No Ndamukong Suh? http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=3918...;u_sid=10396039 Quote Link to comment
1Huskernation Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Wow. They have apparently done some in depth research into each and every team and their rosters and schedules for next year. How high is this radar we keep flying under?? Anyway, can't wait to prove jokers like this wrong next year...starting Jan 1st. Go Big Red! Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 what a useless post..what is nationalchamps.net? who gives a sh#t...i might as well start my own website and name Nebraska preseason #1 Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 They talked about this last night on sports nightly. Keep in mind that they are assuming all underclassmen return to their respective college teams rather than hop to the NFL. Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think Bradford will jump, especially if OU beats Florida Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Right now don't really care about next years rankings. Once things start settling and players decide what they will end up doing I will look at rankings Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I don't care, I'm getting used to us being snubbed and that's fine by me. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 As a Pats fan, speaking from experience, being the underdog is SO MUCH MORE FUN than being hated by everyone else while you're on top. Quote Link to comment
Cy the Cyclone Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Nebraska should be able to pick up a couple of decent DB's and WR's in the Iowa State dispersal draft....that should shore up some of the depth that people may see the Huskers lacking next year.... Quote Link to comment
Reebsker Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think Bradford will jump, especially if OU beats Florida Who could blame him. Get the guaranteed millions before the NFL institutes a salary cap for rookies. Quote Link to comment
