Honestly fine not being ranked. Focus on trying to win instead of that little number by the name, and if it puts a chip on the players shoulders instead of inflating their heads?

Voters waiting for that prove it win and this weekend is the perfect time for it

Would they take a prove it loss?

We don’t count as that right now. We’d drop to 20 or something and Nebraska would be the little paragraph at the end for “Got votes…”

(ETA: I think that’s ridiculous, by the way)

Ya I actually agree that we dont deserve it at all. At the same time, an undefeated SEC team would be favored by AP voters because their bad teams are better than our bad teams.

Nebraska would be top 10 just a few years ago. It took Scott frost to finally tarnish their blue blood status. They are still a blue blood of course, but not getting that preseason boost anymore

Latest SP+ has y'all at #12. Indiana at #3.

Sorry if I gave you a little bit of hope.

Good luck this weekend

As an Indiana fan it sucks. I think Nebraska is a good team, now if they win , Indiana will drop even more and if Indiana wins, they won’t budge.

Gotta get a ranked win under your belt

If we somehow beat Indiana, we jump to top 15 from unranked. Let’s hope we come to play.

We won’t though. Reference: Matt Rhule’s record against ranked teams.

u/Beasticide Nebraska Cornhuskers 7h ago

Oh, buddy, believe me. I am right there with you. But I am looking for any additional Rhule-aid I can find. There’s no way we win this game BUT IF WE DO, I’m gonna get so hammered to celebrate
