[Husker] ESPN: 2005 USC vs. the Huskers

[Mark Landin]

a couple weeks ago ESPN web users were invited to rank 10 different
championship teams (including 95 Nebraska, 55 Oklahoma, 94 Penn State, etc)
to "seed" them in a "tournament" against 2005 USC. The 95 Huskers were
picked as #1 overall, and 2001 Miami as #2.

The May / Herbstreit / Fowler team have been pitting the 05 trojans against
each team. It wasn't until 94 Penn State that Herb and May thought the 05
trojans might be challenged. (of course .. if they start predicting USC
would lose to the #7 team, it would kind of ruin the suspense for the rest
of the slate).

I do think they will pick 01 Miami in a squeaker, and 95 NU outright. But I
may be wrong.
