Seems about right.

[Dr. Mantis Toboggan]

Agree with the ranking for now. But we better be in the top 10 after we beat Michigan St. (yes, I am being optimistic)

I am still not quite on the koolaid train for Nebraska, but these early loses by some teams seem down right bad or are getting worse. How is Nebraska not ahead of all those one lose teams besides Michigan State? That is the only one lose team, IMO, that should be ahead of us.

Because LSU is in the SEC, and the SEC is God.

I was thinking Georgia, Stanford, South Carolina, Wisconsin, AND LSU.

Just was pointing out what I thought was the most glaringly odd part of the poll.

[deedsker]

The part where they are ranked behind a team they beat three weeks ago?

That, and that they just lost to an unranked team at home and only fell 9 spots, while we beat an unranked team at home a few weeks ago (granted, it was FCS) and fell out of the poll entirely.

Or how South Carolina doesn't fall out for being on the struggle bus against Vanderbilt as well. That got murdered by Temple!

It is a travesty that once the first poll is released it is viewed as completely accurate, and all movement is relative thereafter. My opinion is that NU should be about 15 now. I also believe a couple of the top 10 teams should be ranked below 15.

[NUance]

Buckeyes were idle this week and dropped two spots. Maybe they had some bad practices or something?

 

[NebraskaShellback]

The Blue devils are ranked#23 - Miami should beat them and pop up in the polls - maybe.

The polls are not reliable before, during, and after the season.

 

We can't live or die by the polls - the war of opinions is all it is.
