Going to the games each week makes it rather difficult
to see most of the other teams out there, but after
pulling out an double overtime win suddenly makes poor
performances in the previous three games irrelevant.

I'd have a hard time rating us ahead of a 2 loss
Arizona State when those losses are to USC (a team
they led most of the game) and a pretty darn good LSU
team. And Oklahoma showed as much, if not more,
offensive improvement this week than we did.

The ratings will take care of themselves in the end. 
A solid performance this week in all aspects of the
game will give Nebraska a much more solid claim on any
sort of national recognition.

The USA Today Coaches Poll is out, and Nebraska just
missed the top 25 by 37 points; they received the 27th
most votes.  Interestingly, Iowa State got 3 votes and
Oklahoma only 2.
