    The keyword in my statement is "typically".  The pollsters did not do what they typically do.  Typically if a team beats a team ranked way below them by a slim margin they drop at least a couple of spots especially if the team they beat is not in the top 25.  I meant the pollsters consider it the same as a loss in that the team that squeaked out the win would usually drop not that they would drop as much as if they would lose.  The Huskers virtually didn't drop at all.  That was not typical.
