AP preseason #18, interesting trend

[bigred472]

We all know we are not in the top 25. Look at teams receiving votes that are ahead of us.

Others receiving votes: Michigan State 59, Fresno State 27, UCF 25, Northern Illinois 24, Georgia Tech 17, Nebraska 15, Arizona 11, Auburn 9, Boise State 4, TCU 3, Virginia Tech 3, Arkansas 2, Navy 1

WOW!

-------
WE actually got 15 votes? Well, if all our coaches voted........

All I care about is them finishing in the top 25. If they do then I get $100 from a dumb Creighton fan.

I hope you win $100 bucks. Or that Jays fan will NEVER and I mean NEVER let you forget that.

Well the bet was on who would finish ranked higher. Creighton basketball last year or Nebraska football this year. Creighton finished unranked.

Nebraska is NOT going to be unranked this season at any point.

Doh!

Interesting trend going against Nebraska this year. With our schedule and our offense, we can't possibly fall into this trap right? I sure as fuck hope not or else there will be hell to pay.

Chris Fowler was one of 4 who voted Nebraska Top 25.

John Wilner (San Jose Mercury News) was their highest vote at #18.

Sam McKewon says..umm NO

 

[psaboy]

Cracked the coaches poll at 25. I thought the coaches were smarter than the clowns on AP, guess not

It always blows my mind how the minds of voters work....

Northwestern probably should have won that game last night against the #4 team in the country.....

Statistically speaking, neither team stood out over the other. Yet the ball bounces Urban Meyer's way so he is good enough to be #4 today and Northwestern sucks a little bit because of it.....so they drop to #19.

Dumbasses. If I had ranked Northwestern #15 before last night, today I'd be ranking them around #8 or #9, and I would have Ohio State right around there too.

Where in the hell did anyone ever make the rule that when a team loses they need to drop in the rankings? It makes no sense and it's just plain lazy logic.

Are you certain Northwestern will run this stretch?

@ Wisconsin
vs Minnesota
@ Iowa
@ Nebraska
vs Michigan
vs Mich St

If so, then I can see ranking them #8 or #9.

I can see (3-3) just as easy as (6-0) there. I'd have left NW right where they were at #15 though.

I am not certain, but I'd bet money on Northwestern winning all but maybe 1 of those....

Hopefully that 1 that they lose is against us.....but right now it looks like they're going to beat us by at least 17 points.

Psssssst

Northwestern is over-rated. So is Ohio Taint.

Northwestern wins 4 of those 6 at best.

Nebraska remains outside of the top 25......can't really argue that.

LOL @ the media giving Oklahoma the benefit of the doubt. They have played mediocre football all season and now they face a team that actually has talent and they get absolutely slaughtered and only drop a few spots.

Same goes for Georgia. They need to quit sucking their cocks already.......they aren'very good. The SEC in general is not great with the exception of Alabama.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Not to mention, it was Texas who smoked them.
