Has Nebraska has earned a move up in polls?

FAU was a good showing a bowl team but will they have enough gravitas to give the Huskers a boost in the polls? And do you think that Missouri will break into the top 25? There should be a big shake up and where NU lands will help develop some momentum and tv games down the road! Or have we lost that much respect that we barely climb?

 
When do the polls come out? IM sure mizzou will make it for some but maybe not all polls. I'm sure we'll move up at least one and have no reason to stay and less reason to move back but we will be fine as long as we keep winning.

 
This is a tough call. I mean if you look at who won/who lost in the top 25 this week, there really isn't a whole lot of potential for Nebraska to break the top 20 in the AP poll this week. A few teams were almost upset (i.e. Ohio St. and Iowa) but were still able to hang on for a win.

If Nebraska moves up at all this week, it will probably only be a couple spots and we'll linger in the lower 20's in the AP. In the coaches Poll we are ranked 22, so it is possible we could get 20 or 19 in that poll.

 
We might get at one spot. Iowa will drop out after the fiasco vs Northern Iowa. But, BYU is going to springboard past us, and only VT and Oregon were ranked higher than us and lost, so unless FSU loses tonight, there wont be much movement room yet

 
I'm dropping some teams (See: Iowa, Ohio State) after close wins. OSU eked out a squeaker of a win against Navy. Navy isn't terrible, but we're talking about the "best team in the Big 10" being taken to the wire by a service academy. That's so very not impressive.

I think BYU was ranked #20 going into that game, so they are already ahead of us.

I don't know how much they'll move up though, to be honest. I'll be honestly surprised if they go anywhere below 15. It is too hard for me to say that a BYU team (that pretty much only beat Oklahoma because Bradford was out) is one of the top 15 teams in the nation.

Ya they were ranked 20th before, but I don't think they'll move up 6 spots. I think voters will probably look at it and realize they won by 1 point and OU was without their starting, heisman winner at qb. Yes it was a good win and they were hanging with them even before Bradford got hurt but they still only won by 1 point. I think NU will move up maybe one at most two with KU probably doing the same. I would think Iowa would drop out and I would hope Utah will fall since they had a pretty close game against Utah St. We all know Notre Dame will move up to 15 with their dominating win over an unranked team.

 
Yeah polls come out tomorow morning.

I think in the AP poll Nebraska will move up two places to 22. I think they will jump past Oregon and Iowa.

 
Probably jump 2 spots to 22nd in the AP with Iowa and Oregon dropping. The same 2 teams dropping below NU in the USA but Notre Dame leapfroggin us so we end up 21st. If the Noles lose tonight that could bump us up 1 more on each side. I don't look for Misery to get into the top 25 yet but closer.
