It's starting again

[cubsker]

Pre-season hype

 

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

Even the media seems to want us to be good again. Of course nobody has the balls to put us any higher than #25, and I wouldn’t blame them.

The 2025 version of FSU?

Was going to say. One of those teams looks odd in the top 10.

 

[cavalot]

It pains me to see KSU continually ahead of us.

 

[HuskerDrew]

I would say having us ranked pre season is stupid, but if we are projecting forward and we now have Dana on board, and Dylan has a full year under his belt.. yeah, that’s reasonable

Also, our schedule is easy for being in the B1G

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

I'll allow it

 

[salsa red]

We could have ended around there if we didn't crap all over ourselves vs IL and IA

Super easy schedule on first glance, 2 toughest teams, OSU and USC are home games. Watch out for Duke on the road though.

Fake news. Io_a not in the top 25? With their hot new tackling dummy......I mean QB?

 

[RBigredMax]

The annual sneak the Huskers into the top 25 routine. Time to earn it Rhule! Would rather see us out and then slowly build our way to the top 12 taking down teams left and right … making a statement with Michigan in Lincoln next year. GBR!!!!!

Only Alabama having a 2 and 10 season could equate to FSU this year. And please let that happen.

Going from 13-0 and crying about not making the playoffs only to get destroyed in the bowl game and go 2-10 the following season. I don't think there is anything Illinois could do in 2025 to equate to that.

 

[Crisker]

After 24 years of disappointment, there is no hype. Only kool-aid drinkers. Show us.

Until we beat Indiana, #25 is as good as one would expect.

I sure miss the days of being ranked and following how the wins & losses each week might affect our ranking. Such a simple pleasure. I took it for granted for decades.

He needed surgery and will miss all Spring practice.
He is most worthy of Iowa.

Iowa sucks

We can always hope

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Foolish to rank us in the top 25. Based on what? Makes no sense.

With iowa’s tradition of dominant punters it’s a crime to not have them in the top 10. I’m sure this will be the only preseason poll that will dare to snub the perennial punting powerhouse.

IDK, maybe… Does it really matter? Nobody will give a shit about about this “poll” or any other, regardless if we go 12-0 or 3-9.

What season are looking at? No Duke or OSU in 2025 that I saw.
