Dead last.

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

Apparently a different poll run by BTN has Nebraska and Michigan flopped. Huskers were as high as second and as low as 11th in this one.

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.
