shyndy Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Georgia is garbage. They've beaten no one and lost to both an awful Florida and SC. They honestly shouldn't be in the top 20 (how the hell are they above LSU even?). A&M being ranked is so bad. That team got beat 59-0 and barely beat ULM. Auburn is a big win, but enough to slide past a few if those others? No. Hell, Wisconsin being that close to us is even disrespectful. They lost to NORTHWESTERN. How the hell they move up 5 spots is absolutely ludicrous. So much failure from the committee. Really need to win this week and have Miami take care of business against fsu. seems like the top ten is pretty fair. its not terrible but I don't understand unbeaten FSU dropping behind oregon Quote Link to comment
alwayshusking Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Just win baby. Right now we have a win over Miami and our 2nd best win is against Rutgers or Northwestern. We just don't have much of a case right now. Let the team build a real case before we lose our minds about the rankings. Quote Link to comment

That's my guess for the reason. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ziebol Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 We can bitch about the rankings and disrespect of us sliding all night, but until we actually step up and beat someone worth mentioning it is just how it is. We have that chance Saturday, but that remains to be seen if this team can step up. Hopefully the players see this as huge slap in the face and it lights a fire under them, but I won't wager that it will. 1 Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Really good question here. Does all this movement on "bye" weeks give anyone the impression that not playing in a Conference championship and having a "bye" should or could hurt a B12 school? Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Or are all "bye" weeks created unequally? Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 ROFL. Guys. Quit freaking out. We have one of the weakest resumes ever at this point. We beat Wisconsin and Minnesota, we'll easily be in the top 10. Calm the eff down. 2 Quote Link to comment
HuskerNation1 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 How about CFP #15 Georgia (7-2)? They moved up 5 spots after beating 5-5 Kentucky last weekend. Their "big" win came in week one against CFP #19 Clemson. Georgia has since lost to 4-5 South Carolina and were blown out by 5-3 Florida- itself blown out by a Missouri team that managed only 119 total yards of offense. WTF is up with these rankings. I just saw them and am shocked. Seriously, Georgia is now in front of NU...we beat Georgia in 2014, and they have lost to South Carolina, who lost to Missouri, who lost to Indiana. If we beat Wisconsin, and Miami beats FSU, do we move up to #7 or 8 then? Quote Link to comment

Whether or not it will; I have no idea. Quote Link to comment

74Hunter Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I don't think that we deserved to have slid behind so many 2 loss teams. But i do think that where we are is about how good we are as a team right now. Quote Link to comment
Ed Helms Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm fine with the ranking, you guys are right, we haven't really beat anyone. But my problem with the whole thing is why did the committee move us up to 13 after we beat Purdue, only to drop us back like this. Keep us at 15-16 the whole time, it makes no sense to drop us at this time. Quote Link to comment
