Klatt and Pre-Season coaches poll top 25
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
The B1G has four teams in the top ten. The SEC also has four. That is what leaps out at me. There really are only two premier conferences.
Yup. Michigan lost Head Coach, starting RB, starting QB, etc. Will be one to watch to see if they can rebuild quickly.
Very talented team. Have to see if they can reload or have to rebuild for a year or two.

always like this pre-season (propaganda)
rarely like this post-season (actual results)
pennst too high, as is tradition
Nebraska received 2 votes!!!! 
We have to earn our way back in the top 25. We've been shit for way too long.Nebraska received 2 votes!!!!
Hopefully they’ll suck more…Well, they did finally dump Baby Ferentz. Maybe they will suck less on offense?
Arizona - Should not be rated
Michigan, PSU, Texas - Too High
Michigan will show who they are pretty quickly. Texas in week 2 and USC in week 4.
So will we. If we lose to CU we are toast.
I can see us losing and still finishing well, unlike teams of years past when 1 loss would derail everything.
I want to agree, but I just have to see it. We are a beaten down fanbase.
some good first week games that will impact the following week's polls:
#9 penn state @ wvu - here's a statement game - andy kotelnicki gets his first play as o.c. for the lions
#14 clemson @ #1 uga - no bigger game that this one as both are conference favorites
the jacks @ #18 oSu - why anyone would schedule a back-to-back fcs national champion is beyond me
#19 miami @ florida - intrastate rivals get it on - florida has the season's toughest schedule and a hot seat coach
#7 nd @ #20 aTm - collin klein getting his first shot with sec football v. the irish he rejected
#12 lsu @ #23 usc - can't help wonder if lincoln is still in the driver's seat out there or hanging on to the door handle

what do you think Rhule's November record as our coach will be after this year?
I'm hoping for better than 1-7.
Holy shat… what an epic season this will be..
I see some of the other matchups this year and it’s freakin awesome.
The new teams in the SEC and B1G have given the season a bunch of new huge games. Guess I have to get YouTube Tv again this Fall
I agree CU game is huge for many reasons but many are thinking Michigan rated too high on preseason ratings.
Since we are unrated - I don’t think the proving is as big for us as it is for Michigan on a national level.
Personally I think the mindset shift will be difficult to switch without a win against CU. If we lose … “here we go again”. If we win … “it’s time, lfg!!!” For me this is one of the biggest games of the season even though I think CU will end up with a similar record to last year.
I cannot wait to watch the game at Memorial stadium. It has a chance to be lit and I think DR comes out of it as a national conversation … now on to another shotski of koolaid
not sure. We will have to tune in to find out.
Also, I don't care about last year's November. Rebuild year and all.

Certainly from a desperate fan base perspective, the CU game seems like another program defining moment and a loss is going to be a gut punch. Logically though, if the team emerges through the first 7 games with only 1 loss, even if it is to CU, they still have a great opportunity in front of them to have a very successful season. If they lose to CU and someone else in the first 7 games, the path to a successful season gets significantly harder, at least on paper.
Klatt has really won me over; consistently respectful of our program during our darkest days. I’m ready to say he’s the best thing to come out of Colorado since I-70.
Pre-portal, it was usually 3 years, depending on how messed up the team was and how quickly it was fixed.
Post-portal, I think 2 years should be enough to get most pieces into place and a new culture solidified. I think Rhule is ahead of schedule.
The B1G and the SEC have picked apart all the other power conference except for the ACC.
Honestly, when did you think you would ever see both Kansas schools rated ahead of Nebraska? My goodness, we have fallen out of relevance nationally.
so much has changed since the 90s. nil, free agency, coaches, conferences. it's just not the same other than the tradition.
Yes, I’m sure that’s it. All of his goodwill the past few years was all a ploy to build up hype for this epic match up between 4-8 and 5-7 teams.
Ole Miss, ND, Mich and Penn St will all finish lower than their pre-season ranking. iowa is way way way overrated. Their schedule is pure trash (fitting) but they still won’t finish in the top 25.
That would be like KU not making the NCAA tournament for 7 years straight. Lawrence would be burned to the ground.
Frost was by far the worst Nebraska coach in history.
