Football isn't transitive. Ohio State lost to Virginia Tech last year, but Tech lost to Miami 30-6 last year...does that mean Miami would beat Ohio State? No.

Don't you know the rule of Huskerboard? Don't post things that aren't promoting sunshine and roses. You'll get flamed and you'll by asked why you made a thread about it.
Personally, I think the thread is useful because it warrants discussion as much as any other topic. Husker fans need a dose of reality, we need to see just how poorly we're perceived outside of the state. The staff hasn't performed well enough on the field or recruiting trail to be ranked higher than those analysts suggest.

This staff held together a recruiting class that was put together by the previous staff pretty well.
They haven't even had a chance to recruit their own full class yet and you are ripping on their recruiting abilities. SMH

This topic is fair (I think the rankings are totally wrong) but at the start of the year we used all of these "rankings" that people found talking about how great Riley and his staff were, most underrated staff, staff you would want your kid playing for, best staff with the least amount of resources. We had a lot of posts and links about those rankings.
This is totally fair, again, it is totally not accurate in my mind but it is a fair topic.

How? Simple. Overreaction to the results of the first 4 games of a transition year. It is understandable tho. The main positive that has been proven by them is the improvement of Tommy and the passing game. The rest is speculation at this point.

The athlon rankings were made before the season started. They didn't have the opportunity to watch us play, probably a good thing because Riley might be ranked even lower considering.

Who gives a rip about a ranking like this?

Would you care to link me to at least a couple of each of those examples you list.
If there were "a lot of posts and links about those rankings", then a couple examples of each should be fairly easy. I'd just like to read up on that a bit.
I'm especially interested in the ones where this staff was called "the most underrated staff" and " the best staff with the least amount of resources". I hadn't heard either of those arguments before now.

Brady Hoke was ranked 14th in the 2013 Athlon list a couple years back. They fired him a few months later.
You have to take these lists with a grain of salt.

I'm pretty sure if all those rankings had Riley and Co in the top ten nationally you would sing a different tune about coach rankings.
