Predictions on where Nebraska is in the next polls?

I dunno, I think that we gain a couple spots regardless of how others above us do tomorrow. I think we gave a good showing last night that will clear up a few doubts in the pollsters minds.

 
I am guessing 18/19... hopefully higher, but I doubt it. The next 3 games are wins, as far as I'm concerned. The games vs. Oklahoma and Kansas will determine the fate of the team. Ahh, just imagine if they could run the table up until the Big 12 Championship... :bonez

I'll take my usual stance: Doesn't matter until the final week. A conference win on the road where the last win was in 2001 is absolutely awesome and worth much more than the pollsters will ever acknowledge. But, I'm going to relish the conf. win for a bit, and worry about the polls later. Just keep winning and the final polls (the only ones that actually matter) will straighten themselves out. Really - trust me.

normally I would agree.... but I think moving up in the polls could give our recruiting a boost

 
God I hate always being the realist on this board, why can't some else take up being the Ahole for awhile.

My guess if everyone wins we will not move up in the poles. We beat no one of value. Not saying Mizzou was not a good team. But win value pretty much not existant.

Not really a chance to move up much on our own is what I am saying.

Most people did not watch the game out here, Nebraska fans, and my boss looked in late.

I doubt the east coast media paid any attention to two low ranked teams. Very late and if they did most likley left at the end of the third quarter thinking we would lose as normal in their minds.

The one thing that helps us is Suh. He is becoming a household name and the more he does the higher we will get. If we rise I think we thank Mr Suh, he is what is gaining attention.

Agree on all counts. Suh is becoming a household name, and if nobody else loses ahead of us, we'll have him to thank if we move up.
