[Husker] Polls??????

[Steve Reichenbach]

This isn't a reason to despise the polls.  There is sufficient
basis to have USC at 2nd and Michigan in 3rd.  Many of the top
computer polls do.  One reason is USC's big win over a quality
opponent.  Sagarin has USC 1-0 against the top 10 and 5-1 against
the top 30 while Michigan is 0-1 against the top 10 and 3-1
against the top 30.  USC's victories over Arkansas and Cal stack
up well, even against Michigan's win over Notre Dame.

>      This Coaches Poll is the surprise and is why I despise the polls.  Michigan actually DROPS to third and USC leapfrogs into second.  I don't care if you are the 2nd rated team or the 102nd rated team you should not drop if you play the number one team to within a field goal on the road.  The other thing is the Huskers are better off if they don't play.  The Huskers moved from 22nd to 19th and didn't have to run a play.
