Huskers Final Rankings:

AP = 24
BCS = 20
Coaches = 24

I am little surprised...but we did beat 6 bowl eligible teams and had a 26th ranked SOS.

24 seems about right.  I'm sort of surprised to see us in the top 25, but I do think we are one of the top 25 teams.  I just didn't think they would end up ranking us.

We're ranked where we should be... may be a little too high.

That's the respect we have generated the past few years.  I think we are a Top 25 football team.

True....here's to hoping in the next few years we develop into a top 10 to top 5 team.....I can see a top 10 team in the upcoming years...we'll see

Our history under Bo:

2008 - unranked
2009 - 14th
2010 - 19th
2011 - 24th

We need to do better.

True we do, but under BC we were out of the Top 25 more than we were in it.   Sad  So I'll take a Top 25 finish.  However we need to improve and be consistently in the Top 15 or higher.

Alabama
Boise
TCU

We almost agree.  I think our benchmark should be top 10 finishes.

Under who?  I remember no one named BC.   Wink

I agree, but that's tough to do so I added the 'higher' part.   Wink  Heck I want Top 5 finishes every year!  Grin

How important is it to win the last game.  I thought the team had better focus this year and then they took the boys to Disney World!   Wink

It's always nice to win your bowl game and take a positive note into the off season.  However losing like we did can also mean a renewed attitude and can pay bigger dividends.  Smiley
