Agreed. NU has to play well as well as put Ws on the board to get into the top 25.Agreed.I will be very disappointed if we happen to lose to pitt and be their first victory of this season...
As far as being in the top 25; For the most part, playing well and being in the top 25 go hand in hand. When we play well.....
Lets face it. Nebraska hasn't played like a Top 25 Team since their last Bowl game a few years ago.
That is exaxtly why they should wait until about after the third week to release the polls. Anything can happen in the first few weeks. I don't understand how these guys who vote on the polls can actually grasp where each team is at without watching all of the games. I think most of the people only look at returning starters and then check out the box scores.The polls the first five weeks into the season are the biggest joke in sports. Seriously, OU has no call to be anywhere in either poll after that abortion against TCU and struggling against Tulsa. But they get the benefit of being grossly overranked and NU gets zero votes for basically being the same team (one that has struggled and showed some brillinace and some inepitude).
...not this year.I keep hoping that I'll see Nebraska sneak back into the Top 25. After viewing today's poll I see opportunity knocking at the Husker's door in 2 to 3 weeks.Both Iowa State and Texas Tech are in the Top 25 and we play them in back to back weekends in Lincoln.
As amazing as our defense is playing right now, and one more game against Pitt before we welcome the Big 12, I don't see any reason why the Big Red wont be making it's debut back into the Top 25 within a couple of weeks.
I have faith that the offense will continue to improve and be ready to meet the challenge.
Feels weird building hype about Nebraska breaking into the Top 25 when we are all so used to being in the Top 10.
Baby steps to success. Go Huskers! :horns2
