Mavric Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Miles joked that both the men's and women's teams were ranked 12th. Women in the country, men in the B1G. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Dead last. Ha ha! Really? Wow, we've come a long ways in just one year. Nice! Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I honestly expected to be in that 2-3 spot. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 I honestly expected to be in that 2-3 spot. Six writers picked us at #2. Two others picked us to finish #7. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Apparently a different poll run by BTN has Nebraska and Michigan flopped.

Mavric Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Of course, if the order of the rankings is the same as the order the writers are listed above - which is plausible as Rosenthal said he picked the Huskers third - then it's the Penn State guy who picked the Huskers 11th while picking the Nittany Lions noticeably higher than anyone else.

Mavric Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 And there it is: Ben Jones @Ben_Jones88 12m12 minutes ago @HuskerExtraBR For the record I shouldn't have had them that low. Curious if they can repeat last year but 11 is my mistake. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I honestly expected to be in that 2-3 spot. Six writers picked us at #2. Two others picked us to finish #7. Well when you lose Mike Peltz the season can turn either way. 1 Quote Link to comment

Curious if they can repeat last year but 11 is my mistake. Is he from Iowa because that would have been my guess. Quote Link to comment
Paul in WI Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 5th is a little more respect, but I definitely think that we should be above the Michigan schools. Miles is one helluva coach that is surrounding himself with other really good coaches. If opponents thought that we had a good defense before, wait until they play against a Molinari defense. Oh man....the best is ahead of us. We're going to be a handful for anybody. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Well I like the sound of that!!!! Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 And there it is: Ben Jones @Ben_Jones88 12m12 minutes ago @HuskerExtraBR For the record I shouldn't have had them that low. Curious if they can repeat last year but 11 is my mistake. Apparently his mistake was ranking us too high..... Quote Link to comment
