nu and polls

[ronsss]

does the win over oklahoma move nu to the top 25,,,i don,t think so, the loss to iowa state was very damaging.

[sarge87]

No, I highly doubt it. We were ranked in the lower 50's the last time I checked, so we would have to jump over quite a few teams.

[Husker66]

the polls are soooo meaningless anymore. Ever since 01 when we went from #1 to #7 back to #1 because everyone ahead of us lost while we were finished playing... they have been screwy.

 

polls just seem to mean if you are ranked, someone unranked is about to beat you.

We need to win our next two games before we crack the top 25. If we do that, we will be ranked again going into the CU game.

[macroboy]

we are a 3 loss team. should we even be worried about polls?

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I'm not worried about the polls at this point, all I care about is winning the next three games, getting to the Big XII Championship game, and going to a bowl game.

i disagree. I think it helps with recruiting. exposure is never a bad thing. no I dont think t is super important, or something we should obsess over, but there are some merits to being ranked

We didnt move back to #1. Miami was #1

I don't understand the fascination with the polls at this point. Nebraska has 3 losses and will not make it to a BCS title game. The focus is on winning the north, then getting a crack at the Big 12 championship. Polls are irrelevant at this point.

[HuskerTrucker]

Look at the offensive numbers for the OU game...would you vote for us? Yeah, they found a way to get it done, but that was probably one of the best defensive games we have played in years... We also had too many yards in penalties against us. Take away the score, just look at the stats, and you would never guess that we would have won if you hadn't watched it. It is just too bad we don't have the offense, we would be running away with the North, and would be ranked probably in the top 5 at this point.

Polls only matter if you have a legit shot at the National Championship. If you are not top 5, they are meaningless.

Polls only matter at the end of the season. Just play your games and let the pollsters figure everything else out. Good win for the Huskers, glad to see you took care of the Sooners.

Agreed.

[CHOPSKER]

I think it matters -- for recruiting and for TV exposure.

[HuskerNMO]

As long as there's a poll, and the media is going to talk about them and put a number next to a teams name, it's always better to be ranked than not.
