2025-26 Polls and Rankings

[Lorewarn]

Iowa State lost tonight so as long as the Huskers stay the course we should see our highest ranking ever in basketball. Pretty insane to think Nebraska is 17-0 ranked 8th in the nation and are still the ultimate underdogs.

They might not drop below us, but they should.

What a time.

After last night's thrashing of Oregon the Huskers are 11 in the NET, 15 at Ken Pom, 16 at Bart Torvik (T-Rank), 15 at Evan Miya, 20 in ESPN's BPI and 2 in ESPN's SOR.

What a time.

Plus now with Vanderbilt's loss to Texas maybe they can move in the top 10 of NET. Been at 11 for quite some time.

The Huskers did move up to 10 in the NET with Vandy falling to 11.

The Huskers remain #7 in ESPN's power rankings.

Nebraska continues to win in different ways, erasing a 16-point second-half deficit to defeat Indiana on Saturday before turning around and beating Oregon by 35 on Tuesday. But the stimulus of the Cornhuskers' offense continues to be the 3-point shot. Indiana took a nine-point lead as Nebraska missed seven straight 3s spanning both halves, but the Huskers came back by hitting six of their next eight 3s. Against Oregon, they made 17 3s, including five straight from late in the first half to early in the second half to turn a tied score into a 15-point lead in four minutes of game action.

Next seven days: at Northwestern (Jan. 17), vs. Washington (Jan. 21)

I'm fine with it. I think if we were one of the basketball blue bloods, we'd be ranked higher, but it's really not as big of a deal in cbb as it is football. We're on great track for a 1-3 seed, which is insane.

Yep. Win the games you should and then win the tough games at home and you are in great shape

Do they seed from this poll? We have a long way to go, but should we lose I fear we’re going to be unfairly penalized by the pollsters.

I think it’s hard to comprehend how good we are at everything. And if something’s off one night, we can shift gears and attack another way. I’m not even sure who are most dominate player is, because it changes by game. If you’re an opponent I would think a game against us is exhausting.

With our resume, I'm not worried about it. If we finish with 0-3 losses, we are likely a 1-2 seed. 4-5 losses we will end up a 2-4 seed depending on who the losses are to and our performance in the B1G tournament. The AP poll is only one of the factors in tournament seeding.
