Mavric Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 No, they won't drop below us. Ole Miss is ahead of us at 7-2. But we could potentially jump them next week if we beat Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment

Scratchtown Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Looks like ASU is gonna knock off ND with ease so they are out. Down to: Oregon ASU Bama Miss State Auburn TCU KSU Baylor FSU MSU tOSU Nebraska Till tonight. I love this day...what a perfect saturday for Nebraska to have off. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yeah no kidding. TCU v KSU knocks one out. MSU v tOSU knocks one out. LSU could knock out Bama, aTm is trying to knock out Auburn. This is fun. Quote Link to comment
Flood Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Would I be correct in these assumptions for Nebraska's (admittedly long) CFP hopes: 1. Generally speaking we want the underdog to win and win big. 2. In teams ranked above us at the time of the game, we'd prefer scenario 1, but almost as good (even better?) for the losing team regardless of ranking to get utterly blown out so they fall past us in the rankings? I'm sure there are a couple exceptions, where we want a team to stay ranked well until a specific game. But those will probably change weekly for our hopes to stay alive. Please correct any bad assumptions I have. Also, I hope we keep this thread updated weekly with best outcomes for the Huskers. Of course, we have to win out along the way, the bigger the better. I harbor hope that we can do so, but won't be disappointed if we don't. The team has generally played as well as I hoped thus far into the season. Best wishes, Flood Quote Link to comment

The Domers will drop below us, and if the A&M game keeps this way I kinda see Auburn dropping as well. I want Sparty to win, that way if we make it to the conf champ they should be ranked very high.

I think tOSU wining would be bad for us, I bet they would jump us and MSU would stay above us also.My biggest fear is a bunch of 2 loss SEC teams that have beaten each other so you can't really tell who is good because they would all be ranked ahead of us, if LSU wins they would jump us as well Quote Link to comment

Best wishes, Flood Yeah, it's pretty much like it's always been, with the only difference being that we just need to be in the top 4 at the end, not the top 2. So there are some situations like, we might want Miss St to win out and knock other SEC West teams completely out so there is only one SEC team. At this point the SEC is the only conference I see with a shot to get 2 teams in. Auburn losing would help a lot to prevent that. Some of those teams may not be out with 2 losses, but they should be behind us if we win out. There have been plenty of years where there hasn't been 4 teams with 0 or 1 losses, IIRC.

VA Husker Fan Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 And pre-BCS, #2 might not be good enough going into the bowls if you weren't playing #1, or you could be #3 or even 4 or 5 and still have a shot if magic happened, like it did in 1970. Quote Link to comment
