Nebraska has received plenty of respect the last few years, and promptly blown it. So...every years' prediction is supposed to reflect past seasons? Welcome to the fallacy of the polls.

Junior Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 So...every years' prediction is supposed to reflect past seasons? That's not at all what I said. What I said was in response to the "I get no respect" meme, Nebraska has been rated plenty of times over the last few years, including a gift of a #25 rating before the Minnesota game. And then they promptly went out and lost to Minnesota. So... yea. Nebraska gets plenty of respect and pollsters are quick to put Nebraska in the top 25. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 2. Southern Cal (-97) LINK everyone remember when they were preseason no. 1 and finished the season unranked? that was coca-cola. Quote Link to comment
mel4red Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 And just remember ................. Auburn played for it all this year while starting the season unranked and unrespected. I'll get my giblets in an uproar when NU goes 11-1 or undefeated next year and doesn't make the playoffs. I guarantee you anywhere from 1-3 teams will be left out of legitimate contention with this particular style of playoff formatting. Even with Dr. Tom on the selection committee. Quote Link to comment

Not past seasons. Nebraska has received plenty of respect the last few years not anymore i.e. ESPN, CBSSports, Athlon, etc Quote Link to comment

So...every years' prediction is supposed to reflect past seasons? ah, this thread is "2014 ......" . Not past seasons. So a team's past success/failure isn't supposed to go into their 2014 ranking? Then why are people upset about Florida being ranked? Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Positive Negative 2014 ESPN preview. See ESPN Too Early Nebraska: NR and CBSSports too Nebraska: NR http://athlonsports....all-top-25-2014 Nebraska: NR, again Um... Nebraska has received plenty of respect the last few years, and promptly blown it. You are correct, sir. Nebraska has been given the benefit of the doubt by ESPN and others for Pelini's tenure. Each season is the season that Nebraska returns to prominence. But each year we drift to the bottom or out of the rankings, based on actual performance. Prognosticators have every reason to feel burned by Nebraska. I think it's probably good for this team to start the season unranked and disrespected. Bo hasn't exactly thrived under pressure, but he's good at getting the team to feel a chip on its shoulder. The reason we are on the Most Overrated List is because a lot of voters simply vote college football's name brands instead of doing their homework. Yet more evidence of the media's pro-Nebraska bias.

(Did I just blow your mind? ) The bottom of the rankings is just a revolving door. Parity has made 11-25 nearly meaningless. Also, rankings don't legitimately rank teams, they are a points system. The number one team loses a fluke? They drop to 8 or 9. Are they still the best team? Probably, but they get punished. It's not a real ranking system. Quote Link to comment
Creighton Duke Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 ^^^Josey is gone and Gurley is not? Georgia retains the two worst coordinators in CFB, the gruesome twosome of Bobo and Grantham. Should be worth at least a -10 deduction in spots. Gotta argue with you on Bobo: http://www.sicemdawgs.com/2013/12/mike-bobo-247sports-offensive-coordinator-of-the-year/ Mike Bobo of the Georgia Bulldogs has been named the 247Sports Offensive Coordinator of the Year for the 2013 season.........Bobo directed perhaps the most productive offense in UGA history this season. So far in 2013, the Bulldogs are averaging 38.2 points and 489.83 yards per game. Both of those numbers are higher than the records that were set in 2012 (37.8 and 467.64). Pretty impressive numbers. ...nobody would argue with your labeling of Grantham... Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I guess I spend more time around UGA fans listening to them talk than I do looking up Bobo's stats but I always got the feeling that 1. He was an idiot and 2. Everyone wanted him fired. Atlanta Journal Consitution piece about him (though from '12) "To a large contingent in the Bulldog nation, he is “Bobo the Buffoon” and “Mike Boo-Boo.” He’s characterized in fan forums and chatrooms as a dimwit who is overmatched weekly against the SEC’s powerful defensive minds."

Creighton Duke Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yeah, it really is surprising how well he has done considering how much people dislike him. Maybe they'd like him more in Statesboro? Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The majority of fans want there coordinators gone at every program except that of the National champion. I guarantee you there numerous Auburn and Bama fans that want their OC and DC replaced as we speak. Quote Link to comment

Danimal Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yea Schlabach (espn) lost all credibility when he put Florida in the top 25. While they may be better next year and get into the top 25, they certainly aren't deserving of starting in it. This Can't just put this trainwreck of a season on injuries. Surprised Mizzou was left off their list Quote Link to comment
