knapplc Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Nebraska 19th, 20th in final polls Despite an ugly loss to Washington in the Holiday Bowl -- Nebraska's third loss over the final four games -- the Huskers held onto top-20 rankings in the final college football polls released early Tuesday morning. Nebraska was No. 19 in the USA Today coaches' poll and No. 20 in the Associated Press top 25. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 im surprised. maybe voters didnt watch our game? Gotta be the explanation. Or they just figured we didn't care about a meaningless bowl and didn't gig us for the pitiful performance. Or maybe they had mercy on us for the most trying season since 2007. I was sure we'd be unranked after that loss to Washington. That was some pitiful football we put on display. I would categorize this as a gift. Quote Link to comment

When they vote on these polls, don't they take into account our total season? I guess I'm of the opinion that we had some really good games and some really good wins (MU, OKSt) and we lost by so little in some of those games. I wouldn't base the entire season on a post season game, especially since they saw us obliterate this same team 3 months before. Quote Link to comment

irafreak Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 This surprises me but the washington loss was our worst loss of the season points wise by far. It's interesting we would keep a top spot but the 2010 team was a good one just inconsistent. Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 As I sit in front of the gas log fireplace, watching reruns of Family Guy in a retirement village 50 years from now I will fight to keep the memory of the 2010 season alive. I will make sure that my great grandkids never forget this 19th place finish in the poll. Go Big Red. Quote Link to comment

I will make sure that my great grandkids never forget this 19th place finish in the poll. Go Big Red. You are sort of missing the point. The point is not, "Hey guys! Come quick! We're 19th!!!" The point is, "How in the hell did we manage to stay ranked despite looking like @$$ in our bowl game?" This thread is more about enigmas than celebration. In any event, you act as though there is something else to talk about. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I kind of doubted that we would be in the top 25 after the Washington loss. Quote Link to comment
holvy83 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Well if voters went with the whole year, then i would probably agree with the ranking, but also based on the last 4 games, i would have put them in the 25-30 range. I mean being 10-2 before the CCG was not too shabby... Quote Link to comment

The Maudfather Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Wow. All I can say. After that pathetic excuse for a football game, it's obvious all of the voters had a little too much to drink last night. Quote Link to comment
