We can't make Oregon be a decent team....lol..........The same can be said about teams ahead of us with more losses.
You play the schedule you have.
I would advise people to wait out the next 2 weeks. When all is said and done, with wins over Maryland and Iowa, Nebraska will have played 8 teams going to bowl games and be 6-2 in those games. Regardless of wins in the last 2 games, Nebraska may well have played 8 of 12 games against bowl eligible teams.
I don't think anyone expected Fresno to be a bowl team, and with Purdue and Illinois in the division, you are sort of stuck with that. Oregon is a surprisingly bad team and that has hurt the perception of the schedule strength a ton.

That 62 - 3 tends to leave an impression on the committee. The 3 loss teams deserve to be ahead of us.
Our starting QB was out....who has Oklahoma beat..nobody..Florida St...nobody....LSU..nobody ...the others I understand...they only have one loss.
Oklahoma beat Baylor, which is better than any win we have. Florida State lost by 3 to 1-loss Clemson, whereas we lost by 59 to 1-loss OSU. I'm fine where we are.
Baylor is a joke and so is there schedule......Indiana, Northwestern and Minnesota could all beat Baylor....FSU has 3 losses.....we don't lose by 59 if Tommy plays........we have losses to the number 2 and 7 ranked teams on the road, and should have beaten number 7.
All this over 2 more spots..lmao
Uh, no.
Baylor has lost to unranked 5-5 Texas & unranked 5-4 TCU (by 40). Their quality win is over current #13 Oklahoma State; who was 2-1 and unranked at the time of their game against Baylor.
Beating Baylor is no different than beating Minnesota.
You waved the white flag, I read it.
That response doesn't fit with me, I didn't challenge why Oklahoma is ranked where they are. The biggest difference is, their losses were earlier in the season.
Just like clockwork, you pop off and can't support the non-sense.
Here's an idea. You should e-mail all of the polls and the committee. I'm certain your e-mails will be given the credence they deserve and won't end up in the circular file. Let me know how it works out for you.
I wave the white flag because I know it's fruitless to argue with an abject idiot who struggles to form coherent sentences.
The point is you used Baylor as a quality win for Oklahoma, and these posters pointed out that Baylor is not a better win than what we have on our schedule.
You're convinced that 3 loss teams should be ahead of Nebraska, but your proof doesn't really hold up... agree?
No, not at all. We've struggled against average teams the entire year...and when we finally get to a meaningful game that can separate us from the average teams, we get completely obliterated on a national stage. I'm not arguing the point. Our best game still remains an OT loss, which isn't much support to present to the committee.
I believe there is sufficient data to place us behind both Oklahoma and Florida State, which happens to agree with the poll. If you guys want to argue the point, take it up with the polls.
We are arguing over similarities in my opinion. I have no problem with those teams being ranked ahead of us. But I also think those teams are not any more impressive the Nebraska has been. Both of them have bad losses on their schedule as well.
No reason to, I have no issues with the polls.
Name calling, right on cue. That's all you're good at.
@rrthusker take note of the continued name calling from this poster.
@TruHusker here's another thread where Du makes a claim, and can't support it. Instead, he results to name calling. I know, I know, shocking!
Ah, there it is....the call to daddy. I knew it was only a matter of time. If I were you, I would protest and throw a tantrum, because you aren't getting your way.
Perhaps if you didn't hyphenate "nonsense," I wouldn't think you're a bumbling fool.
This is all a matter of opinion, just like the last time you made a mountain out of a molehill. I agree with the polls, and others don't.
So tell me...If you didn't care about the polls, why did you even post in this thread?
You decided to name call as you couldn't support your whacked out claim. rrthusker was mentioned as he's called people out for adolescent behavior; but for whatever reason, allows you to name call.
I'll hyphenate whatever words I choose.
Support your "opinion", if that's whay you want to call it, it shouldn't be that hard. You've had multiple people challenge your whacked out claim, and you still can't support it. Instead, you act like an adolescent.
Never said I didn't care about the polls. Not only can you not support your whacked out "opinion", you make crap up.
Its a new paradigm, there's playoff teams, and there isn't. Many kudos will be handed out to the very few playoff teams, Top 25 ranking will be a nice runner up prize for a coaching staff, and then the abyss.
I have found that in the modern game, folks still haven't recalibrated their notion of what a successful team is. The only team that routinely looks like a successful team of yore is probably Bama.
Other top teams seemingly get embarrassed once a year. See Oklahoma. Louisville. FSU. Houston. Etc. We will get our fair share of butt whoopin's and upsets, even when we are good.
Iowa had a stretch there for about what, 5 years where they lost a ton of games, but were never blown out? That's hardly the bar for success anyone is shooting for.

My "whacked out" claim happens to agree with those responsible for coming up with the CFP rankings of D1 football. Oh...but I forgot, you are more qualified than those buffoons. Why not submit your resume and get paid for your expertise?
Sure, why not hyphenate words that don't need to be hyphenated? You may as well do something you excel at. And if I'm ever in need of poor spelling and punctuation, you'll be the first person I consult.
Playoff committee said Baylor is better than Minnesota? That's your whacked out claim, or as you say opinion, that myself and someone else challenged. One that you can't even support. Goodness dude, you don't even know what the hell you're talking about.
Name calling and grammar smack, yikes. Congrats on winning the HOL spelling bee.
I guess I'm more with Hoosker Du on this one. We got a little respect and got into the top ten, but then we crashed and burned on a big stage and fell ten or so spots. Can't expect a one score win at home against MN to catapult us very far back up. We'll just have to be content with some modest gains for the rest of this year.
Really...lmao........that's like me saying...why did you even post.
Nah...just to not get jumped by a team who has no wins against a ranked opponent and 3 losses.
16 or 17 is where we should be....Minnesota was 7-2 in the toughest conference in America.
Funny...ESPN seems to agree with me. But please continue on; you're quite entertaining..

As I said, there's no difference between Baylor and Minnesota. I should add, except flashy uniforms and rape allegations.

Really? You're going to try using pre-season rankings to invalidate what we know 10 games in? Wow, you are completely lost on how rankings actually work.
is right. Watching you backpedal is really really !! I figured as much from you. You'll never admit when you're wrong.
6-3 LSU ranked higher than 8-2 Wisconsin
5-5 Ole Miss ranked higher than 8-2 Penn State
4-6 UCLA ranked higher than 8-2 Nebraska
Thanks Du-Du, stick to the spelling bee.

Oh spelling bee Du-Du, you claim to be smart but struggle to understand such a basic response. I've shared enough examples an unborn child can understand. But, you can't. Not that that's surprising.
Good night HOL spelling bee champ.
Yes, a basic response alright. So basic a response that only a simpleton could come up with it. You do realize the difference between having no data to support rankings and 10 games of data, right?
10 games of data has LSU #6.
10 games of data has Auburn #8.
10 games of data has Texas A&M #12.
10 games of data has Ole Miss #16.
10 games of data has Tennessee #17.
Um, no.
There's a theme but Mr. Spelling Bee is struggling to see it. Or, he's not as smart as he thinks he is. Or, a combination of both.

I didn't figure you would get it. Oh well, remedial is still remedial, no matter how you slice it.
Kansas State boat raced the great Baylor.
Oklahoma has a chance tonight for their first quality win. Baylor
