huKSer Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I used to remember the days when NU was the highest ranked team with one (or two) losses. This week where we are kind of makes sense with one, maybe two, exceptions Georgia lost to undefeated #4 Clemson (and beat LSU and SCar) TAMU lost to undefeated #1 Alabama LSU lost to one loss #7 Georgia SCar lost to one loss #7 Georgia Florida lost to undefeated #14 Miami NW lost to undefeated #3 Tosu Washington lost to undefeated #5 Stanford Okie lite lost to 3-3 unranked West Virginie NU lost to undefeated #13 UCLA Shouldn't we be ahead of Okie Lite and closer to Florida?

okaive Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I have been saying this for weeks. Seems like we have been getting the raw end of the deal for the last few years on this. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Eh, it is what it is. Should be ranked. Blowout Purdue and show a bit on D we should sneak back in tomorrow. Quote Link to comment

Vizsla1 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 It would be nice if UCLA can continue to win. Our one loss was ugly, and that is what will be remembered. That said, we are still a 23-27 team in the nation. Quote Link to comment
deedsker Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 We are only getting better. If we keep winning people won't be able to look away the whole time. Quote Link to comment
dubsker Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 It is my understanding that a lot of the rankings are relative to where you started, no? Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 NW lost to undefeated #3 Tosu It would help us out a lot if NW could get by the Vadgers today. They only have Minny and the Hawkeyes before facing us. If NW only has one loss when we beat them in three weeks it could boost us up four or five spots in the polls. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Add Oklahoma to that scenario. Georgia is gone. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Add Oklahoma to that scenario. Georgia is gone. UGA will still be above us in the polls. They *might* even still be ranked above Mizzou this week. It'll be close. There's an 18 spot difference between UGA and Mizzou right now. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Northwestern is getting run outta Madison right now, 2011 Nebraska style. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 It is my understanding that a lot of the rankings are relative to where you started, no? Which is why they're stupid. Quote Link to comment
dubsker Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 It is my understanding that a lot of the rankings are relative to where you started, no? Which is why they're stupid. I agree with you. But that is how it works, right? It's just the way the system operates. I don't think it's anything sinister or anti-Nebraska. If we started out higher, we would be higher. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 close win in Lincoln to Wyoming, who isn't a terrible team but is still Wyoming, doesn't help. Quote Link to comment

No, not when you get pummeled by UCLA and give up 10,000 yards in a half....if we beat Northwestern then we'll get the ranking we deserve. Your analysis only shows that Okie Lite is over-rated. I think Nebraska is one of those teams that gets as much respect as any and we don't need to whine, just prove it on the field and let the weekly rankings take care of themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment
