Danny Nee once said that he had the greatest coaching job in America,
because nobody even knew he was alive until January.

That must include the voters, because 11-2 Nebraska has zero points in
both polls.  (I think they briefly had a point in one of the polls right 
after the Oregon win but dropped off the radar screen again a week later.)

Maybe they'll make some noise once the conference season starts, but
according to http://kenpom.com/rpi.php right now they've got an RPI that 
puts them at #144 and a SOS of #332.

With 2 games against #3 Kansas in the next 3 weeks, plus games this month
against Baylor (#66 on the RPI list), Colorado (#154) and Missouri (#104), 
it should be pretty clear by the end of January whether that 11-2 record
means much.
