| douchebagjack | 17 | Best 3 Wins: Michigan State, Ohio, Bowling Green Nebraska is finally giving us something to work with. They're undefeated and have looked much more competent than the Nebraska of recent memory, which admittedly isn't a particularly high bar. The defense has been solid and they're avoiding the kind of stupid losses that have defined this program for approximately one thousand years. Until they beat somebody I'm supposed to care about, though, this is about where I'm comfortable. |

| Bank_Gothic | 20 | Not many tests for Nebraska so far, but I watched the games against Ohio and Michigan State and I liked what I saw. My read is that this team should roll Maryland in a relatively low scoring game that is nonetheless never in doubt, so we'll see if I have them pegged. If that's the case, then I like where I have Nebraska ranked. |

| TheUltimate721 | 23 | 6 sacks and 10 TFL against Michigan State, plus a great game from Anthony Colandrea. They will more than likely be 5-0 and hosting Indiana. Underestimate the Huskers at your own peril this year. |

| HieloLuz | 25 | No quality wins. An abysmally weak schedule with an opponent win% of only 33%. But no close games. The only other undefeated team that is unranked is UMass, who has a Opp. Win% of a measly 22%. |

| ResearchFlaky5912 | 22 | A solid win over Michigan State brings Nebraska into the top 25. Again, nothing particularly special about this squad, but, as there are less and less x-0 teams, the fact that a team is x-0 will itself be an argument for top 25. That line of thinking bolsters Nebraska's claim. |

| Yelich04 | 24 | NR (Undefeated with wins over no actual teams. But outside of like the first half against Ohio, which you can just chalk up to Week 1 with a new QB, I haven't really had time to doubt this team. Taking care of business is worth something, so here they are.) |
| Isthmus11 | 25 | 4-0, not sure if I really believe in this team but I thought the MSU game would at least be closer than it was. They probably crush Maryland this week but then I don't think I see them winning any of the next 3 games. We will see |
