This is an interesting question. Since we’re starting so low we’d probably have to knock off Michigan, Wisconsin, OSU or MSU, games I don’t believe we will win. I’m going with “Not this year”
This. Right or wrong, Nebraska is a potential cinderella story this year and that will make the sportswriters give us possibly more credit than we are due. That being said, if we start out 4-0 we will be ranked on our own merits.Blowing out the 1st 3 and beating Mich - we squeak into the poll at @ 25 because the AP writers know a good story when they see one :koolaid2:
Plus you will have all the 97 Nebraska vs Michigan narrative to build up hype for that game.Nebraska will be ranked after blowing out all 3 non cons. Nebraska ranked vs a potential top 10 Michigan is to good of a story to pass up. Add to that frost and khaki pants have a little history from Frost's first year at ucf. The ap wont want to pass that up. Nebraska ranked 24 going into the big house.
Get the full 97 team on the Husker side line for good measure - just to send a message.If I were Frost I would really want to stomp Michigan in their house, just for old times sake.![]()
being ranked is not that important to me, i want to see a competitive team get better each week.
