Should be 7 in both polls

[JTrain]

We should jump over Oklahoma considering they barely held on against an awful Utah St. team. If Boise wins, we jump over VT in the Coaches for sure. If VT wins, we jump over Boise in both polls, but VT probably sneaks by us in the AP. Either way, we end up #7. Very good shot to be in the top 4-5 entering conference play.

 

The last time we were ranked in the top 5 was December 2, 2001... 3200 days ago.

i understand the importance of being highly ranked during conference play... but other than that i can't figure all the computer BS and rankings and which coach has got a boner for which team... all i go by is winning.... do that and we'll be fine

It's just something to look at Sunday-Friday.

I ask this every year, but what day of the week are these released?

It's just for the fun of it. gives you something to talk about during the weeks between games.

Normally Sundays but not this week because of the Sunday and Monday games.

I don't think we'll see much movement, if any. Outside of the teams who lost, I suspect the T25 will remain relatively unchanged.

Yeah, the one flaw with the polls, especially BCS standings, is that unless a team actually loses, polls usually don't take into effect close games. An OU game could win by 1, and we could roll by 5+ TD's, and the polls would probably remain the same. Especially with those BCS standings, because by then most top 10 teams will be playing similarly skilled opponents every week. It would probably take just a terrible team (think WKU, no offense) to nearly upset a team above us for us to move up with a win.

An exception would be Nebraska from last year. We entered the Texas game ranked #22 in the nation, lost the game, but then entered the Holiday Bowl ranked as the #20 team in the nation.

There are hundreds of examples throughout the years of unimpressive winning teams being jumped.

Happens all of the time, Iowa was dropped from both polls last year after an unimpressive week 1 showing.

[Danny Bateman]

Should Boise go on to lose tonight, that would definitely help our cause. They'd drop out of the top 10 with a loss, which would bump us up at least one spot.

[95huskers]

is there another VT miracle like last year.. 109 left who knows. i personally dont want to hear about boise all year and their chance at a title with their pathetic schedule

[mnhusker]

60 seconds to fine out

[95huskers]
