The FSU/Okla game looked like a pro-game. We have a long way to go.

yep.

we are watching our guys 'figure it out and get better week to week' while other teams are playing sick tight football.

then you watch (actually i listened to it on the way home to denver from lincoln) a game like this and you realize only 3 or 4 of our guys on either side of the ball are playing top 5 football. which is fine, we're ranked top 10... soooo, yeah i'd say we're top 10-16, but we need to beat someone to prove it, whereas OU, FSU, W, are there....

 
I think we continue to be ranked higher than what we actually are. We have benefited from reputation last couple years but lots of teams experience this. At this point, I don't think we would beat Oregon or FSU. We don't have the playmakers on defense this year to stop Oregon. FSU would be a tight game but overall they look better than us. I don't see any clearly dominant team thus far this year. Would not be surprised to see a 2-loss SEC team like an LSU or Alabama end up playing an undefeated Boise St. for the championship. An undefeated OU, Stanford, or Wisconsin can also find their way to the championship. We are in that sort of next tier again where we have been with Bo now for a couple years...inside the top 25 but not really a top 10 team IMO. Let's hope we improve as season continues.

 
Rankings are expected with the Huskers but WTF is this? The Cyclones have 27 votes in the Coaches poll???

Look out Top 25!

Not bad for a team that's going to be playing in the Big 9 Eastern Mountain USA Costal League next year... :dunno

Definitely didn't mean to give you a +1 because I disagree.
