. . . so what happens? The rankings are going to go crazy this weekend. I see Illinois and Purdue moving into the top 25 for sure, and I'd rank Michigan State, too, but they lost.

Its going to be very interesting.

 

[AR Husker Fan]

It certainly puts a national spin on the NU/Missouri game, doesn't it? Both should be solidly in the top 20.

Yeah, I just hope the teams that lost actually drop BELOW us instead of from FAR above us to JUST above us.

For the sake of appearances, I like it when Nebraska is ranked high. Sue me.

I think the Huskers check in at around #20, Mizzou at about #17. The rankings are going to be shook up though.

 

[papersun87]

Especially now that Florida's lost.

Like i said in another thread, the PSU loss is the only one that directly affects the huskers standing in the Coaches poll (read: the one that matters)
