Please merge this with whatever thread necessary, but i saw this today and figured id share.

Heres all the AP voters for CBB and how they rank Nebraska. This will update tomorrow around noon obviously, so these ranking were before the 2 recent road wins.

Toyloy Brown having us at #15 is insane and a big reason we don’t have that single digit next to our name

Local journalist Kevin Sjuts with us at 9… cmon Kevin!


 
Look at this homo ranking us 15. He has bama and Arkansas above us

alot of reporters base their shit on kenpom.. sure if our name was duke instead of neb we'd be in the top 5-7 but shit happens. kenpom is still biased with preseason.

just keep winning

He's an SEC guy. I think it's more about regional bias than Nebraska. His two big boy jobs have involved covering Tennessee and now LSU.

4 of the the 5 voters who ranked Nebraska the lowest cover the SEC.

I haven't looked, but I bet Vandy is probably receiving similar treatment from Big Ten voters.
 
Hard to see us moving up too much. Nobody ahead of us except Michigan lost
Gonzaga played one game last week and beat a nobody at home. Nebraska won 2 quad 1 road games last week, and still hasnt lost (Gonzaga lost to michigan by 40)

Theres plenty of teams we should jump, but voters have to get over name biases. Some have, like Rothstein has us #7 and a few others have us #6.

I agree that our ceiling right now is probably 6, but we should be in the 6-8 range. Not 9 or 10!

Also using kenpom this early in the season is dumb, theres preseason bias baked in. If we started the year ranked 25th, we are likely top 5 in kenpom right now.
 
UConn won in OT to a very pedestrian Providence team. NU should be ahead of all these one loss teams, but they can keep disrespecting the team - they seem to feed off it
If Nebraska and Vandy don’t jump to 7 and 8, or 8 and 9 respectively i’ll be surprised. Both have done enough to jump Gonzaga and BYU resumes by now
 
I think it's hard to erase historical standing from one's memory banks. Nebraska has been a door mat for so long that most people are not believing what they are seeing. I don't blame any pundit from having reservations, regardless of W/L record, margin of victory, Q1 wins, etc... .

It's the Indiana football affect. Hopefully the end of year results are the same.
 
Nebrasketball moves up to #8 in this weeks AP poll, which ties the school record set in 1966 when we spent a week ranked at #8.

Would love to crack the top 7 and rewrite that record, take care of business this week and we should.
We will somehow roll into Michigan undefeated and have moved down in the polls. Don't give a shit anymore. Disrespect us
