Mark Schlabach's very very early preseason Top 25

NU is #12

12. Nebraska Cornhuskers

Why: All of the pieces are in place for coach Bill Callahan to return the Cornhuskers to their place among the country's elite teams. Arizona State transfer Sam Keller might be the perfect trigger man for Callahan's passing offense. Tailbacks Brandon Jackson and Marlon Lucky are both capable runners, and junior college transfer Maurice Purify was a big-play threat. Four offensive linemen return.

Why not: The Cornhuskers struggled to stop opponents, and all four defensive linemen and leading tackler Stewart Bradley must be replaced. The Cornhuskers can't go through another season without a capable kicker. The nonconference schedule will be more than demanding with home games against Nevada and USC and a road game at Wake Forest.

Rest of the Top 25

This is basically good for nothing but internet fodder but hey....

The great thing about this list...Notre Dame isn't even on it :rollin

Edited: Had the wrong author's name on the list. :hmmph
