Sagarin Rankings

[HuskerWeatherman]

I'm thinking this has already been brought up, buried in some thread on this forum ... but there is no doubt this is the first time Nebraska has ever been ranked #1 nationally. Yes, it's early. Sagarin's system requires much more input before it's reliable. But it's really fun to see regardless.

3 in the top ten is great for the BIG but NU at #1 is just incredible.... I know it's real early but I've never seen this before.

FAKE NEWS. First time since '92 that UNL scored more than 80 points in the first three games, Sagarin ratings, positive tweets from national correspondents. It's all just leading up to some sort of people's elbow off the top rope to the private parts of Nebrasketball fans everywhere.

This post made me wonder what Merle would have to say about the start to this season.

It was just fake news last week but we beat number 21 Seton Hall by 23 points. That makes it legit!!!

Damn...Ackos I'm trying to get a happy place buzz on for today's football game and you go and start popping balloons.
Actually, (now that I've landed for a bit) I expect reality to arrive sooner than next year. Thanks for helping us moderate our expectations. :Cautious:
