JTrain Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Harris doesn't have a final poll I guess. Billingsley will be out at noon today and AH probably later on in the day. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Rothman (FACT), a computer ranking used in the initial BCS, has us ranked #19. So far all the computer rankings I've seen has us in the top 25. We should make it in Billingsley and definitely in Anderson-Hester (we were already #23). Looks like the humans were too tough on us.

Don't know if these have all been updated yet or not, but this site has a comparison. http://www.mratings.com/cf/compare.htm Pretty much 23rd give or take 4 spots. And the ever popular over-underrated teams and preseason mag accuracy site (Phil Steele was 2nd this year, Lindy's as last) should be updated later today: http://preseason.stassen.com/ Quote Link to comment

huskerfan500 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=898638 NU is 27, but I dont like the comments made about us. The buzz: Nine wins is probably more than Bo Pelini expected in his first season as coach. But the Huskers need a new quarterback and have to find more toughness on defense. although true, they shouldn't have used a new QB for next year in the final rankings for this year, they are not related Quote Link to comment

Every jobber gets a voice during the off-season. Just think, this time last year it was are D-line that was going to be a weakness. What a difference a year can make. Quote Link to comment

Perhaps he didn't rank NU based on ONE game. NU's offense is damn good, but let's face it, the defense, though improved, needs more work. NU came in #55 nationally in total D, not bad ... unless you remember the blowout losses to OU and mizzou. Hence the pretty poor #80 ranking in scoring defense (out of 119 teams). That ain't so good. and maybe giving up nearly 29 points a game, doesn't sound so tough to him... Bo will turn them around, but the guy's OPINION has some merit. Quote Link to comment
