huskerstag Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 espn.com Saw Ivan Maisel's post spring practice poll on espn.com. It actually seems fairly objective, if a little unorthodox. He had NU at #15. Top 15 or more is too long to list, so who would you put in your top 10? I'd say 1. Notre Dame 2. Ohio St. 3. Oklahoma 4. Texas 5. USC 6. Auburn 7. LSU 8. Florida St. 9. Oregon 10. West Virginia Quote Link to comment

Wisconsin Iowa doesn't belong in the top 25, let alone the top 10. LSU hammered Miami in the Peach Bowl, they shouldn't be below NU at this point. Quote Link to comment
Guest greenbayhusker Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 In alphabetical order (I'm not about to rank teams I don't know much about): Florida State Michigan Nebraska Notre Dame Ohio State Oklahoma Penn State Texas USC West Virginia I won't usually agree with what ESPN says, but I believe what they said about Oklahoma (which applies to us) is true: "You've got to be pretty good to go 8-4 while rebuilding."

pigsonthewing Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 LSU lost their defense to the draft or graduation, a lot of players from that squad that squashed miami wont be back, plus they have a tough schedule with tough road games. Iowa will be good, they return the majority of their defense minus a couple LB's. they had solid recruiting and drew tate wont knock himself out of the ISU game, which is the game that screwed their season last year. miami will be breaking in new offensive coaches, plus coker has been the underachiever the past few years.

BIGREDIOWAN Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I don't know if I agree with the whole Iowa thing I don't think they will be that good because I wasn't that impressed with them this last year. Quote Link to comment
pigsonthewing Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 yeah they had a rocky year but michigan beat iowa in overtime, and had a tough break against northwestern. they broke down against iowa st, ohio state, lost a heartbreaker to Northwestern, and they fought pretty hard against Florida. They are a lot better than that 7-5 record states.. Plus they return Drew Tate. Id say they are lookin pretty good. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yeah they did have a tough year you should have seen the Iowa fans around here!!! Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I don't know if I agree with the whole Iowa thing I don't think they will be that good because I wasn't that impressed with them this last year. Yeah...because they are Big 10 The 'Big 10' is like 11 suitors of Bill Gates, Sam Walton, and Warren Buffett's ugliest daughters and watching them line up for a potential date...none of the suitors want to do it, but because the daughters are rich and popular, you have to stand in the queue, say your cheesy and worthless pickup line, get demolished by all the girls, and still have the stupidity to say you'll try to date them all again next year, even though you know the outcome will still be the same.
