mmmtodd Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Doesnt mean much other then we dont have to climb as much. If we win our first 5 games(should be 5-0) and they win their first 5(Texas Tech and Oklahoma might be tough) but if we are both 5-0, we are talking 2 top 5 teams maybe. Gameday!?!?!?! We dont play either one of those teams next year but texas could be gameday. Deafy1289, your avatar is creepy. Is it a zombie cat, or michael jackson cat? Quote Link to comment
kansas husker Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'm just glad to us getting the mentions on a national sceene. Just one step closer to having the order restored Quote Link to comment
huskerjack23 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I got a challenge that goes with this... Who's in front of us? 1-8 Quote Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Will also help with recruiting Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Well I think Ohio St will probably be top 8 even though they have some defensive rebuilding to do (never seems to slow em down much). Oregon returns a lot of playmakers Oklahoma will be better but who knows USC will get love as always with a second year qb now iowa loses some lineman on both sides of the ball but that's about it bama seems to lose some defenders but their playmakers (minus cody) return not sure about penn st, florida's returners (hear florida is losing a wave of defenders to the draft early), perhaps some teams like boise/tcu or some from the big east/ACC.

JTrain Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I got a challenge that goes with this... Who's in front of us? 1-8 Well he confirmed Texas and OU were. If I had to guess, it might be something like: 1. Alabama 2. Texas 3. Boise State 4. Oregon 5. Ohio State 6. TCU 7. Oklahoma 8. Iowa Quote Link to comment
mitch7 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Some guy on college football live had Nebraska at #5 preseason Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Looking over NationalChamps.net's early bird rankings (which have historically been very accurate compared to the preseason AP poll), and thinking about the results of the major bowl games, here is what I expect the top 15 to look like in August: 1. Alabama 2. Boise St. 3. Ohio St. 4. Oregon 5. Iowa 6. Texas 7. Florida 8. TCU 9. Miami 10. Georgia Tech 11. Nebraska 12. USC 13. Penn St. 14. Oklahoma 15. Cincinnati Quote Link to comment
missouri_husker24 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I have never understood why most people say that preseason rankings mean nothing. They mean a TON. They are the starting point. They dictate how far up the ranking ladder we have to climb to get to the top. Sure the are often inaccurate. There will always be teams that a ranked way higher or lower than they should be at the beginning of the year, like Notre Dame this year. I for one am pumped that we will be in the top 10 next year. Whether its for 1 game or for 14 games, it has been too long sense we have sniffed the top 10. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 The last time we were ranked in the top 10 was September 8, 2002. Quote Link to comment
BornRedCornFed Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 The last time we were ranked in the top 10 was September 8, 2002. Wow its been that long? Of course it doesnt really mean much if we dont win on Oct 16. Date circled. Quote Link to comment
