[Husker] Polls

[Steve Reichenbach]

I trust the computer ratings more than the human polls.  I think
that the human polls should drop the highest and lowest ratings
for each team so that the most extreme outliers don't impact the
rankings.

Sagarin has K State rated as a tougher opponent than CU.

NU 80.84 KSU 71.67 Away -2.52 = NU is  6.65pt favorite
NU 80.84 CU  66.27 Home +2.52 = NU is 17.09pt favorite

I hope NU is ready to take care of business on the road at KSU.

According to Sagarin, NU has the #22 rated predictor.
Several of the top computer ratings (www.mratings.com) have NU
in the top 25.

WRT the KU game, for me, this was the most encouraging win since
NU beat Michigan at the end of the 2005 season.
