A bunch of gamers. I think there is good senior leadership and a lot of commitment to not let happen what happened last year.

Indeed.

No. 7 in AP poll: http://collegefootball.ap.org/huskermax/poll/2017/9

 

[Pops]

We are number 6 in the polls and Wisconsin is number 11. Wisconsin is favored by 6.5 points this coming week?

they should be at home

If we win out we'll be top 4 for sure. Absolutely no way Louisville would stay ahead of us, or Washington for that matter.

...or Clemson or Alabama. We should be #1 if we win out. But unfortunately that's not always the way it works out. Just to be safe, we need one of those teams to lose.

From 8/9 to 6/7....go figure.

Good analysis in this thread...and I agree

I expect the Wisc game to be tough to watch (bad for the heart). If we do win, we will probably be in a low scoring game and behind through the first three quarters, then squeek ahead in the 4th. Sort of what you said.

Yep. It could easily come down to just a couple of 4th quarter plays by one Tommy Armstrong Jr. It may all be there or not be there in just an instant. $1500 can get me one of these.

I just may buy one.

Yeah, if we win out with wins over Wisconsin, Ohio State (possibly twice), or Meatchicken, an argument for number one is certainly valid. However, if Alabama wins out I don't see the pollsters dropping them. It's all a dream right now though, but a realistic one if we play up to our potential. On to Wisconsin! GBR!!!

OSU's loss didn't seem to hurt them. It take away their margin for error, but if they win out they are in the playoff.

I am presuming that they would obviously jumped UM with a win and then a B1G title win jumps them in front of Louisville.

They are in deep do do now. They cannot beat the MU which is day and night compared to PSU. A good aggressive defense will beat them all day long.

If we were so lucky as to win out, we would be a 1 or 2 seed period. All you have to do is make the final 4 anyhow.

If we win out I could care less where we are ranked.

 

[Always go for 2]

Mid-season polls are like the Kardashians - everybody likes to talk about them but in the grand scheme of things they aren't really important.

I'm happy we're in the top 10, but the next two games will determine if we really belong there.

#6 is as high as we've been ranked since 2001. 7-0 for the first time since 2001 as well.

#6 is as high as we've been ranked since 2001 (we did it in 2010 as well but we were only 2-0 and 4-0, so too early to care). 7-0 for the first time since 2001 as well.
