[Husker] RE: Coaches poll out

[Mike Jaixen]

While I appreciate the sentiment, I'm not sure I agree.  Looking over Kansas, I still think they're the team to beat.

One writer I've seen recently said that "Nebraska has the biggest upside", and that's definitely my thoughts.  Nebraska should have the best defense in the north; maybe second best in the conference.  The offense is inexperienced, but I like the potential.  Still, Kansas returns much of their offensive firepower and that, combined with the NU/KU game in Lawrence makes me put the Jayhawks ahead ever-so-slightly.

One thing I hate about these pre-season polls is that they tend to set down an order, as many voters just refuse to drop teams unless they actually lose a game, no matter who else looks better.
