Indiana looks like a decent team and we are on the road. I think a vendor of mine is giving me and the wife tickets.

Yeah, that's my reaction too. Indiana is ranked too low in that list. I'd probably put them above Wisconsin and Iowa but not ahead of Illinois.

 

[scarletred]

Mine would be.
9 Purdue
8 UCLA
7 Wisky
6 Illini
5 Indiana
4 clarkeyes
3 Rutgers
2 Sou Cal
1 tOSU

Indiana on the road after playing Rutgers will be more difficult than Illinois play us on Friday night with 400 consecutive sellout..

 

[Charlie Marlow]

I would put Indiana at #3 as of now

 

[king_kong_]

You guys know Rutgers QB is the Greek kid from Minn, right?

I don’t get the hype. He’s crap

 

[headcard]

1. OSU
2. USC










3-5 in any order:
Indiana, Iowa, Rutgers

6. Illinois
7. Wisconsin







8-9 both bad:
Purdue, UCLA

Correct and yes he still sucks. They are just a hard nose team and their running game has been pretty good. They will probably get smacked soon, but they are decent on the lines.

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

Power rankings this early is really a crap shoot. For example, Indiana looks good defensively but they have also played a FCS team, and the 124th and 125th ranked offensive teams in the country.

 

[ADV1]

Mine would be.
9 Purdue
8 UCLA
7 Wisky
6 Illini
5 Indiana
4 clarkeyes
3 Rutgers
2 Sou Cal
1 tOSU

Bingo! my exact thoughts right now as well...

I don’t see your list.. pucker up and give one.

Agreed it will be tougher but Rutgers game will have ntohing to do with it.. we'll be coming off a bye week going into Indiana

 

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

They’re definitely well coached but far from bursting at the seams with talent.

Exactly. I'm not worried about Indiana right now. Lets beat Illinois first. I'm glad we have Illinois at home.

 

[king_kong_]

I don’t see your list.. pucker up and give one.

I agree entirely with @headcard

we have 2 games left on our schedule - ohiost and USC.

the rest are the usual boring terrible going nowhere B1G fodder we play every season.

Coach Rhule would tell you to get a clue..

 

[cruelhalo]

1. Ohio St
2. USC
3. Indiana
4. Iowa
5. Illinois
6. Rutgers
7. Wisconsin
8. Purdue
9. UCLA

 

[king_kong_]

Coach Rhule would tell you to get a clue..

he and I seem pretty simpatico

win the games we're supposed to win (we will be favored against all these crappy, slow, talentless B1G teams), keep DR healthy and we will be in the mix at the end of the season

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

Agree, many people on here believe that because Nebraska has been historically bad, that it means that these other teams are better. Some are, but most are the same as they were when Nebraska was winning 9 and 10 under Pelini.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Here is my ranking:

1 Ohio State
2 USC

3-9 Everyone else

Again where is your list so we know where you stand which games are more difficult than another..

 

[scarletred]

Taking the easy out aren’t you Pennsy..

 

[king_kong_]

ohiost and USC are the only difficult teams left on the schedule

the rest are tied for last place since they're all the exact same shitty boring B1G team

just like pennsy said

 

[Big bo fan]

9 UCLA
8 Purdue
7 Wisky
6 Illini
5 Rutgers
4 Indiana
3 Iowa
2 USC
1 OSU

I think you’re fairly accurate with this after what I have seen after 3 weeks.

 

[BTF69]

I mean, 3-9 are all the same team. They always have been. Losing to any of them is lame.

 

[scarletred]

ohiost and USC are the only difficult teams left on the schedule

just like pennsy said

Both of you are wimping out.. Unusual for him..

 

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

9 Purdue

Not exactly what I said. But there are definitely tiers and USC and OSU are title contenders in a tier by themselves.

 

[wkato]

I think Pennsy is being sarcastically humorous!

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

...did USC gett better after Caleb left? Kinda looks like it to date.

 

[merk0714]

9 UCLA
8 Purdue
7 Wisky
6 Rutgers
5 Illini
4 Indiana
3 Iowa
2 USC
1 OSU

Not getting the Rutgers love. Wisky has no QB for their "Dairy Raid" offense. UCLA is bad bad bad.

 

[headcard]

...did USC gett better after Caleb left? Kinda looks like it to date.

They are a better team because their defense is better.

 

[Big bo fan]

...did USC gett better after Caleb left? Kinda looks like it to date.

USC defense looks better that’s why.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Taking the easy out aren’t you Pennsy..

Yes! That, plus I don’t think we know enough about most of these teams or our own team yet

 

[mikecanale]

Indiana looks like a decent team and we are on the road. I think a vendor of mine is giving me and the wife tickets.

They have a very good and experienced QB and some quality receivers. This will be a very tough game and maybe a shootout.

 

[scarletred]

Yes! That, plus I don’t think we know enough about most of these teams or our own team yet

Ask Top Kong he know’s already who will be better in November..

 

[king_kong_]

Ask Top Kong he know’s already who will be better in November..

Rutgers, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Iowa, ucla, etc., etc., are all the same team

 

[IM4NUalways]

We can beat every team on that list but OSU and USC by 4-7 points if we win the turnover battle in every game.

Injuries on every team will come into play later win the year. We need to be on the plus side of that too.
