They might sneak into the top 10 because I have a feeling there will be a bunch of teams lose in the 11-15 range. Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Stanford, USC and LSU all could lose this weekend.
with
6 A&M at 12 Miss St
3 Bama at 11 Ole Miss
14 Stanford at 9 ND
15 LSU at 5 Auburn
19 nebraska at 10 MSU
that's 5 teams in the top 15 that need to drop. if somehow MissSt, Ole Miss, and LSU pull off the upsets, how far do you think the losers will drop? probably not out of the top 15 with all the SEC dick suckers out there, however assuming the favorites win, then I think the best they can do is fill the void MSU leaves at 10.
If Nebraska pulls off the upset, they deserve to be a top 10 team. They are playing a team that is very solid in all areas of the game so it's going to take a near perfect game to have a shot at this one. IMO, MSU is a top 5 team in spite of losing to Oregon. As I stated earlier, better play calling and MSU could have won that game by dominating the 4th quarter with a better running game between the tackles.
Really though it wouldn't be that hard to argue for that IF Nebraska can pull it off. They would have a win over the same team that is Oregon's big win thus far, and would have gotten it on the road as opposed to at home.
I could see an argument for top 5. I mean how many unbeaten teams would have a better win than a win in East Lansing?? Not too many ( if any ) I mean Oklahoma's best win doesnt match that, Bamas doesnt, Oregon would have the same win but at home, UCLa's doesnt etc etc. Also Nebraska has a win over another P5 bowl type team in Miami. Do I THINK theyll be top 5?? Nah, probably 10/11/12 but if you are asking where they should be I could 100% make an argument for top 5.
