LOL...There's no way we make the playoffs.

This guy makes the case that we will:

I listened to that segment with Phil yesterday and it was quite informative.

Another interesting tidbit was he has Cincinnati on his Ten Most Improved teams in 2025 list. He thinks NU will win the opener but Cincinnati will not be a pushover.

Cicny is going to run the ball into the middle of the D for the first 15 minutes of the game...to see if it works.

If the NU DL holds up...NU will win with ease.

I am surprised to see Nebraska on this list.

I am surprised to see Nebraska on this list.

I think preseason rankings have as much to do about schedule and projected wins as they do about how good a team really is. We have a favorable schedule...

Ah yes, the well-known sports news organization "No3 Sports"!

It is crazy to see Indiana on there...

And Illinois has NEVER had back to back double digit win seasons...

Ah yes, the well-known sports news organization "No3 Sports"!

And the very reputable "AD" poll, which both uses the font/style of the AP Poll and an acronym that implies "Athletic Directors" but is neither of those things.

In any case with preseason polls, the whole thing is for clicks and spots 20-25 in particular are great to do that.

 

[Crusader Husker]

I read it as AP Poll, not AD.

It's a parody account.

 

[BigRedBuster]

It's a parody account.

And as such....I read it as On3...instead of No3.

It's a parody account.
