4skers89 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This is an interesting question. Since we’re starting so low we’d probably have to knock off Michigan, Wisconsin, OSU or MSU, games I don’t believe we will win. I’m going with “Not this year” Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I think Nebraska would have to start the season 6-2 to be ranked, unless they do something shocking like beat the non-con by 20+ points apiece. The fact that we weren't even in "others receiving votes" means despite hiring the hottest coach in the market last year, nobody thinks Nebraska is any good. They're not inclined to vote for us, and if we rack up four or five losses, we'll get put in the "wait 'til next year" bin and ignored. 2 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We may be ranked at 6-2 before Ohio State. And then again at 8-3 after beating MSU or at 8-4 after beating Iowa. Quote Link to comment

I’m going with “Not this year” A 6-2 Nebraska team with losses to Michigan and Wisconsin is more than likely going to be ranked unless we’re trounced by them. That said if we go on after that to lose to OSU, MSU and Iowa, we’d be unranked going into bowl game but maybe ranked after a win. If we beat MSU and/or Iowa I believe we’ll be ranked before the bowl game. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Despite the massive amounts of Kool-Aid flowing right now, we will probly end up with at least three or four losses. We'd definitely be ranked with three losses, and maybe even with four losses. Finishing 9-4 with a bowl win would get us ranked. 3 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Blowing out the 1st 3 and beating Mich - we squeak into the poll at @ 25 because the AP writers know a good story when they see one 2 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Nebraska will be ranked after blowing out all 3 non cons. Nebraska ranked vs a potential top 10 Michigan is to good of a story to pass up. Add to that frost and khaki pants have a little history from Frost's first year at ucf. The ap wont want to pass that up. Nebraska ranked 24 going into the big house. 3 Quote Link to comment

Right or wrong, Nebraska is a potential cinderella story this year and that will make the sportswriters give us possibly more credit than we are due. That being said, if we start out 4-0 we will be ranked on our own merits. 2 Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 being ranked is not that important to me, i want to see a competitive team get better each week. 2 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Being ranked is a pretty good recruiting tool. My guess is that we'd reasonably only be ranked this year right after the Iowa game if we were to beat them by a couple of touchdowns. I don't see us beating Michigan to be honest.

Get the full 97 team on the Husker side line for good measure - just to send a message. 2 Quote Link to comment
