I think this article represents Nebraska well. No loud trash talking players (see: Miami) no one getting arrested (Hello Ohio St.) No bragging, rude fans (Michigan st.....?)
Basically the author ran all the numbers, and showed the teams that get no respect at the beggining of the season, by the "experts" and then ended up being ranked highly at the end of the season.
28. Nebraska – Of those programs that have been preseason ranked in at least 30 of the last 35 years, none has been more reliable and consistent than Nebraska. Considering that there’s always been far more territory in the rankings background than foreground, the Huskers’ composite score is alarmingly good. The numbers paint a clear picture of sustained dominance. Nebraska has been ranked at the beginning of the year 32 times since 1971, yet finished just one of those seasons—2002—unranked. And of the 29 times the Huskers started in the Top 10, they stayed there until January 23 times.
*Composite Score: -3.25
If anyone is interested in the whole article, it's here--
overrated
And Nope, USC was not in there. I have to admit USC gets alot of respect from the media. Sometimes too much...... :sarcasm
