My personnel is:

1. Huskers

2. Michigan

3. USC

4. Oklahomo

5. Texas

6. Ohio St.

7. Alabama

8. Miami

9. Florida

You have personnel?

Seems puzzling they only deduct two points for "get(ting) your program banned from the postseason", but you get 25 for a MNC.

Prestige Rankings?

Sounds like they're grasping at straws to find something of interest during the long offseason.

Probably wise though, that they didn't let US vote for this. <_<

 
You could definitely make an argument for Nebraska being #1, but I doubt that we will end up there. I would say Alabama, Texas or Michigan would be #1, but I would say the top four spots are a toss up between us and those three schools.

But I really don't know much.

 
yeah, nebraska should do well in this list. I would expect notre dame will do very well though, although the last 25 years have been bad, they were really good every year. Although they will seriously suffer for not being in a conference.

Unfortunaltey OU will be very high up there, higher than us for sure, they have more conference championships and national championships. A fact that will be hopefully remedied soon.

 
Mizzou at #36 with 314 pts. Not bad, just think how good that could have been had MU not sucked for 20 straight years <_<

:lol: :clap

Poor CY, ISU - 114th place with a negative score, -53. But the mighty 'I' Beams are getting better!

Well somebody is going to hee and haw for Notre Dame to be up there to.

I know this ranking system isn't based on last years season, but it's amazing to me how a team can be thoroughly worked the entire season, have a good showing against a poor Hawaii team, and now suddenly people are jumping back on the Notre Dame band wagon. Nebraska, on the other hand, still gets little to no recognition for anything except maybe a few seconds on Sportscenter every couple of weeks.

 
Kansas State (76) KSU has climbed out of college football's outhouse to where it is the 25th-ranked program since '98. Amazingly, the Wildcats were the last-place team in The Prestige from the 1940s all the way to the early '90s.

It is only from 1936 on (first year of the AP poll) so Michigan (8 NTs before '36), Notre Dame (4 NTs), Alabama (4 NTs), and USC (2 NTs) will miss out on some of their "glory" years.

Unfortunately for Nebraska their dreadful 40s and 50s records are included (only 2 bowl games, both major, both losses and only 4 winning seasons). Taking 2 decades off will probably make it tough to get the top spot, but 42 bowls in the last 46 years has got to help.

you have to remember Jhawk, this is from like 1949 to now and KU wasnt exactly killing people anytime over the past 60 years for anymore than a year here and a year there. Baylor has more conference titles, more all americans, more bowl games, more bowl wins, so on and so on. Plus with all the points possible for fininshing ranked, have AA's on your team,bowl games, winning bowl games, winning divisions/conferences and playing in Con Title games, you can jump up the list pretty quick with a string of good years

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.
