NUpolo8 Posted January 11, 2011 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. No kidding. Color me amazed. Quote Link to comment
Ziebol Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 We should be ranked 20-25 going into next season. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Weren't we ranked 17th-18th prior to the bowl game? Maybe I am wrong. But if that is close, we ONLY dropped 2 spots after that "spectacular" performance in San Diego. A lot of voters obviously live on the east coast and went to bed at 10:30 and just saw the score and not the game. I am shocked that we are in the top 25.... Good points earlier on the quality wins over MU and OSU... and narrow losses to aTm and OU......but, the last half of the season doesn't deserve a top 25 ranking (IMO) Quote Link to comment
husker_99 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I think our ranking is due to that OU beat Uconn handily. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I always thought any team ranked before having played a game has always been ridiculous. Anyone remember how many times the Irish were highly ranked? They should wait and post the rankings after week 3. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 We deserve to be ranked in the top 20. That is, if you look at body of work and not performance down the stretch. After all, we did play four top 20 teams, and beat two of them. Quote Link to comment
Blaze1up Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 LOL, squawkeyes didn't make the cut. Quote Link to comment
no_name_needed_2001 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Look at the teams below us. We clearly belong ahead of those guys Quote Link to comment
Lincolnite Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I know our spot in the top 20 is a gift, but it still pisses me off to see Missouri and Oklahoma State ahead of us. Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I have a feeling we will be a better overall team next year. They prob. ranked us based on returning starters, tradition, and key wins. So in essence, it seems the voters think we are going to be a pretty solid team next year. We'll see...

Chaddyboxer Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Top 20 is a gift though...I couldn't agree more after our poor performance in the bowl game... Quote Link to comment

I agree, I actually think the championship game hurt us, none the less we should be ahead of missery in the rankings, we beat them and they also lost a bowl game. Not not saying we have to go higher they could drop. Quote Link to comment
