[Husker] Nebraska should be 16??

[Rod Wellman]

I've always felt the first ranking shouldn't come out until about week 4 or 5. These early games are less about whether you're a top 10 team and more about getting your wheels under you with a new mix of players, surviving games that get a bit ugly and figuring out your teams strengths and weaknesses and working on them. So it's guesswork at best as far as rating teams this early; there's just not enough to go on to be remotely accurate.   I'm amazed at how different some teams look in the middle or latter part of the season compared to now.  So, that said, I'd keep NU in the top 10 for now.  Why not?  Who else has looked sooo good that they should jump us?  We haven't lost...scored a bunch of points.  If we're revealed to be a "pretender", that will happen soon enough.
