NU could be ranked from about 8th to 20th and it could work. Doesn't really matter at this point since the MNC is out of reach. Win out and NU should be back in the Top 10. A Rose Bowl win and a Top 10 ranking? I'd be pleased with that.
Why do you guys keep saying it doesnt matter?
OF COURSE IT DOES
1. National perception
2. Setting up next year
3. We still have to win the B1G to make it to a BCS game
4. If Michigan wins the week and we lose, there's still a chance we make it to a BCS game if our BCS ranking is high enough
5. If we make it to the CCG and lose, we need that higher ranking to make a BCS game
With that said, just win out and THEN it doesn't matter

Do this and they'll be setup just fine ranking wise and perception wise next year.
actually our SOS went from 6th to 3rd. But I am just happy we didn't drop in the BCS poll.
click on the "schedule strength" and a spread sheet pops up with the url at the top
National Perception - Bo toning it down will do more than what the BCS numbers this week
Setting up for Next Year - We run the table, we're in the title game....winning next year sets us up better than winning this year does.
We still have to win the BIG to make it to a BCS game.....why yes we do, and I don't think we will. But if we do win the BIG and get to the Rose and Oregons RUTSs us, Both 1 and 2 on your list are irrelevant
If Michigan wins and we lose...Michigan gets to go to the CCG. Losing to Iowa, we'll fall of the map....and again #1 and #2 are irrelevant
If make CCG and Lose....we don't deserve a BCS game with three losses
I don't see how three different ranking services can be so far off from one another.
Nick Saban's sideline reputation isn't stellar, yet Bama's national perception is that even with one loss, they should still be #1. Winning/being highly ranked (and being in the SEC) cures all.
The higher rank we finish this year abso-freakin-lutely plays a part in where we rank starting next year.
That's why they play the game. We COULD still win out.
I haven't looked at the remaining big games left (ranked vs ranked), but we could still make a BCS even with a loss either this week or next. Didn't NU still make the national championship after the '01 seasondespite not even winning its division? Don't think it's entirely out of the picture to make a BCS game.
Again, there is nothing bad about being highly ranked. Unless your Oregon or k-state
:lol:
Nebraska would be lucky to still be ranked at all if they lost to a team as bad as Iowa is.
For the record, NU did move up a little.
Week 12 BCS average - .4679
Week 13 BCS average - .4790
Week 12 BCS average - .4679
Week 13 BCS average - .4790
still like to know how Michigan moves up so much with an Iowa win. Hope the same happens to us.
We have had to make big rallies four times this year. Generally, teams out of the top ten do not lose ground unless they lose. The only teams above us to lose were the top two teams, and they didn't fall enough to affect us. I didn't expect to see us change BCS positions this week.
