SI has Nebraska as "on hold" on their first installment of bubble watch. What are they even doing mentioned? Not all teams are. Crazy. Cool, but this was even after the OSU blowout.

This must just be someone looking at records. Anyone who knows anything knows NU has no chance. Lazy.

Probably points to the fact even some of the best college bball writers can't be totally familiar with all 330+ teams. Also, NU does have a couple of nice "name" wins over WF and USC, so that plays into it a little bit.

Just looking at NU's non-conf. results blind, without any back-story, it would make sense that a team that went 9-4 in non-conf. play, beating teams from the Pac-12 and ACC, with three of the four losses coming to solid teams atop their respective conferences, would get at least a mention in an article like this.

NU RPI: 71
NU SoS: 22

Thats why, of course after they get slaughtered by UM and MSU...

Good points.
