I was saying the exact opposite, it will end up looking worse for Nebraska on paper when those rankings come down to reality.so you're saying those stats will improve because we'll have lost to teams outside the top 150 instead of in it? always a way to find a silver lining I guess...
Can't believe how highly rated Wichita State, Creighton, Ohio State, and Minnesota are. We have 9 losses to teams ranked in the top 58 right now. I think those will come back to reality soon, personally.
There were some teams with losing records up there.I agree. There's still some frauds with solid RPI's in early-April.
I really do not want to lose a series to Iowa but we seem to be a mess this year.91 KSU and 39 squackeyes next week

I was actually looking at things and last year, we only gave up double digits twice all of 2017. Once to Oregon State and once to Arkansas. We've done it 6 times already this year and we are just past the mid-way point. We lost Burkamper who we could prepare for, Meyers who we just have to eat his scholarship this year, moved our other weekend starter to closer and decided to groom our set-up/closer for weekend starting this year. Then you have the 5 guys injured in the bullpen making their way back, and it makes sense why we have given up so many. Even after winning conference, I thought we could change our assistants a bit, this year isn't helping that.Young
Injuries
Northern school
Bad combination
s they play a division 3 school today (they schedule a lot of those each year for some reason).
We have also struggled, because of terrible fielding play, decisions on the basepaths and failure at the plate, which includes double plays to wipe out big innings. So many things!!I was actually looking at things and last year, we only gave up double digits twice all of 2017. Once to Oregon State and once to Arkansas.

Nebraska moved up to 92nd from 98th after a weekend series split with Iowa. Would have been nice to try and get that series win at home, but the way this season is going, we probably would have went 1-2. This week brings Kansas State (119th), UNOmaha (253rd), and for the weekend series we are at Rutgers (143rd). If I had to predict, we are going to fall back out of the top100 next Monday. We don't have the pitching depth and we play some poorly ranked teams. 4-1 is our only shot to not fall in the rankings and that will be tough. Hoping we somehow find enough offense to win the weekday games, then go 2-1 on an away conference series.
