ESPN's Prestige rankings..

[Enhance]

My guess is Nebraska will be thrown somewhere in the 6-10 range. In my heart I think Nebraska is most deserving, but statistically speaking I guess there are more prestigious teams out there. The ranking seem pretty fair so far though, nothing to unexpected. I do agree with Baylor being higher than KU.

sweet the 15-11 are out which means NU has to be in the top 10 BOOOOYAHHH!!!

 

[tattooedhusker]

like huskerred said, between 6-10 range. I'll say around...5 or 7

 

[HUSKER FREAK]

Yeah I would say 5-7 would sound about right as well. I can't believe Wyoming is ahead of five big 12 schools that saw anyway!!

I really dont expect ESPN to have the Huskers #1 but it was my top 10 and I must say I am a little bias.

but this isn't ESPN picking these... it's their formula that is picking them.. whoever ends up in the top spot just fits that formula. pretty much the most unbiased this convo would ever get.

What if they just juked us all and forgot to put NU in the list. :madash :bang :sarcasm

It wouldn't happen, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised.

I understand the formula ESPN is using. The bias comment was in reference to my own personal top 10. (see top of page)

 

[tattooedhusker]

The top 10 is going to consist of (not in order):

Nebraska

Oklahoma

Texas

Ohio State

Michigan

Notre Dame

Alabama

Florida State

Miami

USC

pick and choose, it's pretty damn close!

and which of those top 10 teams is the most down on their luck since 2001?

yea but which one since 2008

 

[808Husker in KCMO]

I would put my money on Alabama as being #1 prestige school

note the negative points for seasons being banned from anything..... that could factor in..

Note the points for their 8 National titles since 1936.

Bama will be ranked #1

what about notre dame's 9? but Bama has 9 also right?

 

[808Husker in KCMO]

The cut off is 1936. Both schools have 8. ND will lose out on not being in a conf. Unless the independent schools rule in the best record category is more advantageous than I expect.

hmm my bad was lookin at somethin wrong...

 

[no_name_needed_2001]

IDK what years they're starting but Nebraska has the most wins and the best winning percentage in the last 50 years.

I just hope they do it more recently so those old championships really wont count...like minnesota's 6
