We beat a ranked team in CU

[SLOHusker]

Rankings at the beginning of the season are meaningless. FSU was a top-10 team at the start of the year. They are dogshit. Can we stop with the endless poo pooing over the "last time NU beat a ranked team"?

Yes, NU needs to get its offense rolling but the BS dating back to the Pelini/Riley/Frost days needs to stop.

Colorado might be playing like a top 25 team now, but they weren’t earlier this year. Can’t say the same for the Huskers.

Not sure about that, the big 12 is a joke of a conference. The line play across the board is weak in the Big 12, which allows Colorado to thrive. Nebraska has regressed every game up until the tOSU game, that being said, Nebraska is still far better than Colorado

The Big 12 is an easier conference. NU is playing better teams in the Big 10, especially defensively. Should NU be doing better offensively? Heck yes. If NU played in! He Big 12 6 wins would be simple matter every year.

The fact of the matter is that Deion has his team playing well and believing in themselves. They are also one of the most dangerous passing teams in NCAAF. Travis Hunter is a once-a-decade athlete at a non-QB position, and Shedeur is a legit 1st round NFL QB.

The fact we won and the way we did it was a quality win. Their only other loss was to a K State team that was lucky to win.

Truth is Colorado might be pretty much the same team they were a year ago and got pummeled in what was a very deep and talented Pac 12. Outside of 3 teams in the big 12 yes it is a joke of a conference. In fact the 2 winningest programs in the Big 12 are Colorado followed by West Virginia. It also seems to me that only one team has won a national championship which was Colorado.

If Nebraska played CU’s schedule we would be 7-1 or 8-0. Maybe we lose to KSU at home like CU did.

If Colorado had our schedule they have at least three loses, they would get blown out by OSU and Indiana and lose to Illinois.

It’s cute they are ranked and I’m sure all their new fans are pumped, but I’m not sure they have actually improved at all.

Conference change and weak schedule came at a perfect time for them. Still think this is Primes last season in Boulder when Hunter and SS leave.

It's ok to hate CU and Prime and still acknowledge that they are a better team than they were earlier in the year. ...they are.

Being ranked, bowl eligible, Heisman candidate, first round draft picks…sounds pretty nice. Maybe we should go back to the Big 12

Plenty of room on their message board I’m sure. Have at it.

The poo pooing isn’t going to stop, but you’re right- NU deserves credit, at least at this point, for beating a ranked CU team. Another thing to consider is had NU beat Illinois, that would have been considered a win against a ranked team - but Illinois wouldn’t be ranked this week had that happened.

it's not looking good nobody ahead of us is ranked, hopefully Wisconsin does so it can be taken care of at home

 

[goldencohusker]

Let's not discredit our win against CU as its the only team we've beat that, with hindsight, looks impressive. Our other 4 wins are against teams with a combined record of 8-23, with the best of those (Rutgers) riding a 4 game losing streak.

There a joke that if Nebraska would go to the Big 12, the strength of both the Big 12 and the B1G would improve. Unfortunately more truth in it than I’d like to admit.

by far Rhule's best win on our sideline

none of his others even come close

But how do we illustrate how bad Deion sucks while still giving us credit for such a quality win?

 

[king_kong_]

sadly, there's only one scheduled postseason game that pits the B1G vs the Big 12:

the Guaranteed Rate Bowl (now just the Rate Bowl) at Chase Field in Phoenix

a rematch would be a fun wrinkle to end the season, but we'd probably need to get to 8 wins to earn an invite

It seems that other than BYU and KSU , defense is an afterthought.

And how do you continue to suck off the coach from CU day after day, while continuing to bash the team that destroyed them? Tough one.
