[Husker] Good start, time to finish

[Andrew Smith]

Let's not get too confident about any of the remaining games (except 
perhaps Kansas).

Here's their Sagarin rankings:
  43 @Iowa St.
132 Kansas
  32 @Texas A&M
  51 Colorado

Yes, Nebraska should be favored, but considering the loss to Texas 
(ranked #34), an upset by @Iowa St., @Texas A&M, or Colorado is not out 
of the question.

Go Big Red!
