I have read a lot of articles that praise Nebraska's defense and how we played the game. Is it possible that we move up in the polls? I doubt we could get to 14, so no BCS bid, however could we be 18 or somewhere around there?

 
I would say we stay about where we are. Top 5 defense with a Sun Belt offense that has consistency issues. I would say this team should be 20-25, because there are 20 teams that we would have difficulties beating.

I'm surprised by it. Nebraska rarely gets credit for their "moral victories". I guess it takes a Big 12 title appearance to get voters to pull their heads out this collective asses when it comes to NU football.

Are we sure the voters didn't mean to vote for USC, and filled in the wrong name? I mean, how could they leave out the Trojans? They've only lost 4 times! :sarcasm

 
We evidently got a lot of respect from last night's performance, because we're now the highest-ranked team with 4 losses. If you recall, there were a ton of 3 loss teams ahead of us prior to the Texas game when we had 3 losses.
