People were talking about how we might not win another game during the 3rd quarter on Saturday, now we’re complaining that we’re not ranked. This fan base is so bipolar.

Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
Sign Up Now!Also I hate when people think head to head matters over the course of a season.
Teams change. And head to head isn’t really a great indicator of which team is better.
If it was a true road game I bet Cincy wins that game
The same Nebraska team that went up on MSU 14-0 and almost pissed it away? That Nebraska team? What if they had played in Lincoln and it was windy? 👀That night? Yes.
And as someone who is in Arrowhead that night, I argue that if the game had been played under the lights in Lincoln, Nebraska runs away with it. Here's why:
There was no Husker band.
There was no Nebraska pump up music.
Every break included Cincinnatti promos and commercials.
The Cincy band was playing.
Hell, the in game production showed the same Cincy fans on the big screen 3 dozen times.
It was actually kind of freaking awkward. If Nebraska gets up 13-3 in Lincoln, I think they win running away.

Glad we got the dub vs Cinci, but I think if you ask any impartial CFB fans who happened to watch the game from start to finish, most would not agree that the better team won.
I don't know about that. You can make an argument Nebraska was as close to pulling away as Cincinnati was to winning.The same Nebraska team that went up on MSU 14-0 and almost pissed it away? That Nebraska team? What if they had played in Lincoln and it was windy? 👀

I seriously don't think that will happen. Here's why:
#25 Florida State hosts a terrible Pitt team - They will win that one
#24 South Florida plays a terrible North Texas team - they will win
#23 Memphis is on a bye
#22 Cockeye State plays a terrible Colorado team
#21 Arizona State plays at Utah - Arizona State could lose that game. Well guess what? If Arizona State loses to Utah, Utah is going back into the top 25. They're already receiving votes over Nebraska.
#20 Vanderbilt is on a bye.
#19 Virginia is on a bye.
I do think there is a possiblity #17 Illinois drops out completely after they play Ohio State. But they're also high enough in the poll that it might not matter.
Texas will beat Oklahoma and move back into the top 25. Mateer won't be back despite the stories like "Mateer Could return." That's just showmanship. Penn State probably beats Northwestern this weekend, and also jumps back into the top 25.
Would Nebraska be favored in a neutral side game right now vs. South Florida, Memphis, Virginia, Cockeye State, and even Illinois? Yes.

We 100% looked the better team vs Cinci overall. I don’t think it’s even up for debate.
Yeah there's definitely a dimension where we pissed that game down our leg but to say Cinci was the better team is delusional.We 100% looked the better team vs Cinci overall. I don’t think it’s even up for debate.
So..Cinci receives more than double the number of votes to be ranked than Nebraska…Interesting.
Talk amongst yourselves.

Yeah, what is up with a Nebraska guy ranking Auburn like that?
Completely delusional. Nebraska led most of the game, outgained Cincinnati 353 to 271, and dominated time of possession (nearly 40 minutes to 20). Nebraska didn’t turn the ball over once, whereas Cincy had 2 turnovers. Nebraska threw for 243 yards and Cincy just 69 (nice). Nebraska was 56% on 3rd down whereas Cincy was 30%.Yeah there's definitely a dimension where we pissed that game down our leg but to say Cinci was the better team is delusional.
Cockeye State could easily lose to CU and I hate CU...they literally have to ride with their backup secondary practically as their CBs are done. Youre starting to see the ramifications of NIL outside of the P2 or teams with large NIL funds in their depth. My neighbor is a huge ISU homer. He thinks they are toast because of how poor their secondary is past their starters.I seriously don't think that will happen. Here's why:

Hell of a name and pic hahaHe has a little Lee Barfknecht in him it seems. Well, no he really doesn't. Lee was a dweeb and against the grain guy just for the sake of being a dumbass. If I recall he voted Nebraska #2 behind Michigan in 1997. Any Georgia or Nebraska fan knows that's not the case.

Lmao the band.That night? Yes.
