what a writer or pollster says, yawn, doesn't matter anymore. bullets start flying in just a few days. why not wait till after the first game. nebraska fans are like beaker or tigers fans, you have so many question marks and beat no one of consequence last year, wait till after your trip to blackwater and a very good Vtech team. just as MU has to play a very talented Illinois team, which is heavily favored. till then sure everyone looks good in fall camp, wait till you play someone who is favored and beat them, then talk all you want. KU has to take on 3 tough teams in the south, that is when you will find out who they are.
north is in flux, no one truly stands out as a complete team, will be an interesting season and someone from north please beat TX or OU. then you would have something to crow about.
