I bet if we sewed an SEC patch on our jerseys we'd be in the top 12.

shocking

These are the same people that put USC at number one in the pre-season. We played well against GA in the bowl game that means more than a poll IMO. The Capital One Bowl game is something to feel good about, but nothing to brag about so the team will have motivation going into the off-season not desperation..

After suffering two straight losses to end the season, I wondered if we'd be ranked when the final polls came out. The results:

 

AP - #25

Coaches - #23

BCS - #16

Sagarin - #22

 

Sagarin ranked our Strength of Schedule #20 in the nation, making this the hardest schedule we've faced since 2007.

I'm amazed by the traditional powers ranked ahead of us: Louisville, Utah State, NW, Oregon State, San Jose State, Northern Ill, and Vanderbil

This is disturbing to me that in year 5 of the Bo reign, we have a 9-4 Vanderbilt team ranked ahead of us. I get it that they play in the all powerful SEC. But even with our

tough schedule (20th ranked), the AP writers still think more of a Vanderbilt team than a Husker team with a 10-4 record.

 

13 Louisville 11-2 781 22 14 LSU 10-3 756 9 15 Oklahoma 10-3 615 12 16 Utah State 11-2 456 18 17 Northwestern 10-3 443 21 18 Boise State 11-2 419 20 19 Texas 9-4 358 NR 20 Oregon State 9-4 303 15 21 San Jose State 11-2 243 24 22 Northern Illinois 12-2 227 16 23 Vanderbilt 9-4 180 NR

Vandy finished with 7 straight wins - many by a large margin of victory. We finished with 2 losses, one in blowout fashion. I don't see an reason why Vandy would be ranked below us.

Well the BCS system loves us.

Well the BCS system loves us.

No, there just isn't a BCS poll released after the national championship game.

I was wondering this b/c i thought it just spit out 1-2 after reg and ccg season and was done. But i wasnt positive. Either way, i did feel like the bcs system did like us all year.

In a statement that will be a total shocker to everyone, the polls are pretty subjective. The AP has a Michigan team that we handled head-to-head and has a worse record than us ranked ahead of us. I don't lose a lot of sleep about who's ranked where, except for #1 of course.

That's becuase they took an SEC team to the wire, and we were "routed" by an SEC team.

Like I said, subjective.

Except for the fact that the only team they beat this year with a winning record was the bowl game team.
