I did not see the ISU game but I figured I'd give just a few reasons why I
don't think the Huskers will be ranked this week.

An offense that still only scored 13 points in regulation.

And Rutgers is 7 points better than the Huskers. The Huskers beat a 2-3 team
that beat another 2-3 team.

More reasons why other teams suck but nothing to do with why the Huskers
deserve a ranking.

I'm not sure if I would rank the Huskers this week if I were a voter. I
think they should be on the brink, say #27 or so. If they beat TT they
should (and will) be ranked. In fact, if they beat TT I think they win the
B12 North.

Chuck - Just not sold after one decent game.
