eh, that washington game is carrying too much weight. 10-20 will be fine and acceptable. this was a 10 win team in a bcs conference.

And we were a 10 win team last year including the bowl and almost 11 if not for :01. We made progress the first half of the season and then regressed, worse than last year.

"I told you so" never comes off as well as you think it will. ;)

 
I saw one website putting us at #14, which I don't think is out of the question. The preseason ranking includes recruiting class and exiting players. Same site showed Iowa (who loses everybody) at like #44.

 
Teams that will probably be ranked higher than Nebraska to start 2011 season include the following:

Auburn, Oregon, Stanford, TCU, Wisconsin, LSU, Bama, Mississippi St, Ohio St, Florida St, Arkansas, Mich St.

It's kinda tough deciphering where teams will be ranked because there are so many top teams from this year whose starting QBs and RBs will have graduated or moved on by the time 2011 starts up.

Based on that, I'd say we'll be ranked 13-15, potentially higher since we have several key players returning.

Of course I don't think the 2011 pre-season ranking will matter too much because we could start outside the top 25 and still end up #1 IF we somehow found a way to go undefeated through that brutal sched.

I doubt Auburn, Stanford, Arkansas will be ranked higher than us simply because they lose valuable people. I could see Oregon being #1.

 
I see us around 17-20 to start the season. Losing a ton of talent in our defensive backfield, combined with a brutal schedule. We'll have every opportunity in the world to move up...I'm just hoping we can muster up some resemblance of an offense. If not, next season will be bad for my liver.

Agree about Auburn, but Stanford is going to be a top 10 team next year. Also, we can tack OU onto the list of teams that will be ranked higher than us. If I had a ballot, I am putting them at number 1 heading into next season.

 
Somewhere between 1-120 should be about right.

No but really I see us being 10 if Crick returns and Martinez stays.

DEFINITELY Oklahoma will be ranked ahead of us. There is no doubt Auburn will be a top ten team, deserved or not. Stanford, Ohio State, Oregon, TCU, Wisconsin, all will be ranked ahead of us.
