HuskerfaninOkieland Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Personally, I think his NU ranking is more spot on than other rankings I've seen. 3 Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I dont agree with where he has us in relation to who he has ahead of us. Penn St will likely be an 8 win team. Oregon has way to many questions. Wisconsin has way to hard a schedule. Without going into it deeper those are just a few that we should be ranked ahead. I would have to look at others schedules and returning players to pick it apart any further. I think we are more in the 8-12 range. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 apparently, he is out of there: AP replaces two voters in pollBy Mike DeArmond - Posted on 24 August 2010 The Associated Press has just replaced two voters that voted in its pre-season poll. No reason given but it is usually because the voter has requested the change, largely because that person is not now primarily involved with covering college football or for some other conflict. But I couldn't help noticing that one of the voters replaced was one of five persons who voted Missouri in their Top 25 pre-season list. That would be Tom Hart of the Big Ten Network, replaced by Dave Curtis of the Sporting News. Again, without being told this by the AP, I figure someone thought it was not a good idea to have someone associated with a particular conference voting. The other change was Brett McMurphy of AOL FanHouse replacing Scott Carter of the Tampa Tribune. Carter is headed to the University of Florida as a web-site writer. Can't have a school employee voting in the poll, otherwise it would be just like the USA Today/Coaches' poll.

Im actually disapointed they aren't higher in other polls.... Quote Link to comment

bleedNUred Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 The Mizzou grad explains it! LOL JK either way I think we have way too many questions on offense as of now, based on potential we are a top 10 team but in reality the offense is what dooms us. Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 From his online bio at CBS Tom Hart is a veteran football and basketball play-by-play announcer for CBS College Sports Network, now in his fifth season.

A native of Columbia, Mo., he was previously the television announcer for Georgia Tech football and host of the Atlanta Braves minor league show "Movin On Up". Would also explain why Georgia Tech is ranked higher than us too. Personally I don't think we should be in the top 10 just yet but there is no way that Georgia Tech should be ranked higher than us. I do believe that we are a TOP 15 team though and I want this 2010 Husker team to prove a lot of critics wrong this year. GO BIG RED Quote Link to comment

GO BIG RED you do know that GT was 11-3 and played in a BCS bowl game last year right? I believe they return 14 or 15 starters including their QB. Its not unreal for someone to have them ranked above NE, especially since we are in agreement that NE starting ranked as high as they are isnt necessarily correct. In fact I am with you on the top 15. I think the fair ranking is in the 14-16 range. And at that range I can understand and see why GT would/could be ranked ahead of NE. Quote Link to comment
HuskerJosh Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'm curious to see who ranked us HIGHEST. It was two guys from North Carolina, funny enough. One was Joe Giglio, I can't remember the other. Quote Link to comment

NU clearly deserves to be preseason top 10. Last year's team beat UT, the team that played for the MNC. Well, we beat them in the regulation 60 minutes anyway. And we didn't lose much to graduation that can't be replaced. Sure, Suh is gone. But I don't think our D-line will be a weak link. I realize you Mizzou Tigurls stick together. But Hart's votes are clearly out of control. That's why he got the boot from the AP voting. I'm curious. Do you agree with Hart that Mizzou deserves to be in the top 20 right now?
