Top 25 HuskerBoard Consensus Top 25 - Post your ranking here

[knapplc]

Maybe you've seen the post-Spring Practice Top 25 rankings that have been floating around. Here's ONE EXAMPLE, and HERE'S ANOTHER.

 

Personally, I think we can do better. We, the members of HuskerBoard, collectively know more about football than a few sportswriters, right? You know we do.

 

So here's what we're gonna do - you, me, and a dozen or two of our friends are going to submit our personal Top 30 post-Spring rankings. I'm going to toss that into a spreadsheet and from our collective wisdom create a Top 25 that will rival all others in breadth and scope and accuracy. And awesomeness.

 

Why 30 teams? Easy - it's not likely we're all going to pick the same 25 teams. With a five-team cushion on the back end, we're more likely to get a number of the same teams ranked, especially in the hard-to-rank 21-25 range.

 

Please, for the sake of the rankings, leave your Husker Bias at the door. Try to be as objective as possible.

 

 

 

Post your Top 30 here and in a week I'll put up the rankings. Have fun.

That's six so far, seven counting mine (whenever I get it done). If we can get another five or more I think we'll have a really good average, and we can pull some interesting conversation pieces out of this project.

By the way, I hope no one puts too much stock in the ESPN rankings that were linked to - and for more reasons than the general distaste for ESPN.

Question for any statisticians - is there a threshold number of samples that I would need before I throw out high/low rankings here to remove anomalies? We have 11 so far. Is that enough, or would I want 15 before I start trying to do something like that?
