Boy did Iowa fans get all butt hurt when they found out that Nebraska is ranked 24th 

B1G guys brought up a good point.  NW who won the division last year, not ranked.  Purdue and Minnesota who some believe could win the division, not ranked.  If one of those win the division then it will knock one or more of Iowa, Wisconsin or Nebraska out of top 25.

Yeah, I think the broad feeling is that the West doesn't have a clear top-10 team, but any team in the West not named Illinois at least could be a top 25 team. Doesn't mean all of them will be, but several of them will probably enter or leave the top 25 before the season is done. Of course, being in the top 25 at the end of the season is a whole lot more interesting than at the beginning.

I hope the AP is right and that the hype is deserved.  I can't help but think that they are looking at a lot of similarities to year 2 of UCF and wanting be "right" sooner than later.

 

 

How's the weather up there St. Paul?

  it is good to see the respect.  I suspect we'll remain low until we beat Ohio State - then I hope we can jump to the #15 range or thereabouts. 

 

I'd be surprised if we're outside of the top 15 going into that Ohio St game.... Assuming we are 4-0

Let's be real, you wanted to say top ten. 

[Apsu]

Yay... we're #24...
We have the schedule to finish in the top ten this season.

They do return six starters from the 12th best defense in the Big Ten, so watch out. Their schedule does look favorable as they only have six games that look like sure losses.

What does that mean? Everyone always has a schedule to finish in the top ten every season.

@Landlord UCF didn't have a schedule to finish in the CFP selection committee's last top ten at the end of the 2017 regular season...

So we confirmed we are not a G5 team. That’s reassuring, I was worried there for a moment.

The quoted post said 'to finish' in the top ten, but sure, I will concede your 'point' that UCF, as a G5 team, was not in the top 10 of most rankings before postseason play started. They also had two games canceled.

I believe this is the same guy that ranked Tempe the worst place to watch a game in the Pac-12.  When asked why, he went into some nonsense about the state of Arizona shouldn't exist because of the desert landscape and lack of water.  Just bizarre.
