Dead last.

 
Miles joked that both the men's and women's teams were ranked 12th. Women in the country, men in the B1G.

 
Dead last.
Ha ha! Really? Wow, we've come a long ways in just one year. Nice!

Of course, if the order of the rankings is the same as the order the writers are listed above - which is plausible as Rosenthal said he picked the Huskers third - then it's the Penn State guy who picked the Huskers 11th while picking the Nittany Lions noticeably higher than anyone else.

 
5th is a little more respect, but I definitely think that we should be above the Michigan schools. Miles is one helluva coach that is surrounding himself with other really good coaches. If opponents thought that we had a good defense before, wait until they play against a Molinari defense. Oh man....the best is ahead of us. We're going to be a handful for anybody.
