Ummm...are we gonna be ranked?? (Answer: Yes)

[Mavsker]

4 teams likely dropping out of the top 25
(24) NC State falls to (14) Tennessee
(23) Georgia Tech falls to Syracuse
(21) Cockeye falls to Cockeye St
(19) Kansas falls to Illinois

 

[Herbie]

Prolly not

 

[ThomOsborneMD]

Absolutely we should be top 25. Our defense is elite.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I wouldn't put us in the top 25 based on a win over Colorado, but I could understand if someone did

 

[HerbRedman]

Not sure (and don't really care).

I'm actually glad that we looked bad in the 2nd half. Lots of media will think we're not there yet. If we looked perfect and won 49-7 we might get some hype.

We actually might get zero hype after this win which I'm 100% good with. And we'll still get zero hype vs Northern Cockeye.

I'd rather we get zero hype while we figure things out (and we still have lots to figure out - on O and STs)

 

[2010sarenevercomingback]

Which sports journo has the courage to do the right thing and put us at #1 on his ballot?

 

[BluesBucksNHuskers]

Yeah I think we will. Guessing 23 or 24

Oregon halftime crew was talking about a 7-0 start so idk that we will avoid hype.

I would have rather shit all over their faces for another half, but if you look around college football, playing a whole game well this early in the season against anyone with a pulse ain't easy

No, we'll get TONS of hype if we go 4-0 vs Illinois. That's on a Friday so there will be nothing to talk about.

I'm saying at least we have our UNI game in peace. We might even have a slight letdown since the CU game was so emotional for the entire state.

They hype train WILL get running. I'm just saying lucky for us it won't really be for this week and next. We'll get a little more time being anonymous while we figure our shit out on O and STs.

 

[Herbie]

Realistically could be 25 if they get in. I don’t think they’d make the CFP top 25 right now.
Probably would look good for cruitin.
If the media wants to try and get some play out of Nebraska hype they might try to start

 

[BluesBucksNHuskers]

Teams with stars always get a little ranking bias and the hype train is full go on Raiola

I think it will be a mixed bag this week among the media experts TBH. I think a bunch will see all of the penalties and think we're not ready for the spotlight.

And they'll downgrade the win bc Colorado is trash.

 

[Lionsfan93]

Yes...and we should be. Defense is elite and the offense has potential.

They gotta prop up Colorado to keep the money train going for prime. We’ll be at least ranked 25

Utep just lost to FCS Southern Utah in OT. Id prefer we not get ranked yet.

UTEP misses the game tying field goal in OT

But! There is a penalty so they get a 1st down and the drive stall again

And then the kicker misses again

Lol

We also could have laid 60 on UTEP if we really wanted to. Why does it matter what they did against Southern Utah?

 

[Drue629]

I bet we come out at #24. So many top 25 teams have looked like ass the first 2 weeks.
