Um we gotta be ranked after this right?

All of the eyes of the nation were on us, and for once we lived up to the moment, unbelievably impressive

I’d think so, unless the take away is that Penn State sucks. Which could also be true too.

2 blowout wins against P4 teams and giving the defending champs a scare in a 1-score loss should count for something, no?

Yes but inertia is the strongest factor of all.

Depends how currently ranked teams do. We'd have to leap over a bunch of teams.

I do think PSU sucks but they were ranked last week and we are 3-1 with a last minute road loss to the national champion and kicked the crap out of 2 power 4 teams and well as a recent FCS national champion. And we did this on prime time network TV.

Just hope we can get healthy and TCB against Ball State to keep it going.

#25. We'll be in. And for a while I think w/ Ball and Mich St coming next

But we're better than those teams.

#24

#25 Missouri will probably lose. #23 UCLA plays #14 Oregon though who knows on that one, UCLA has looked better than Oregon. We’ve got Wisconsin at #26 who will probably beat MSU.

 

[GECat2]

#12.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

#12.

I legit think we're a top 15 team (and I legit thought we had a chance at Indiana going into that game, which is why I created that thread), but I'm expecting 20s next week.

That is always the takeaway anytime we beat a team.

 

[Eurocat]

Somewhere between 20 and 25.

Coaches poll our best chance for ranking since Penn State was still ranked in that poll when playing NU, albeit at #22.

 

[olsh]

I'm sure it would be helpful for ticket sales, but let's see after the Rutgers game. It's too early to know if Penn State is any good, but they sure weren't yesterday.

I think if a couple teams ranked in the bottom 10 of the top 25 lose, we should be in for sure. Especially due to our dominating performance. We just need to stay healthy and we will have a great season!

Mizzou (#25) plays Florida (#8) today, so it's a pretty good bet the #25 slot will be vacated.

Thinking about this today. Think about how many voters saw the game. ALOT. New stadium, only game on, dominant performance. That might do it

Enough teams in the bottom tier of the top 25 are going to lose to get us at least the 25 spot, perhaps higher.

Wake Forest is going to be ahead of NU. They just pasted Stanford 57-3 after beating Louisville.

 

[Sheffielder]

Objectively, I think Minny's back to back conference wins over then-ranked Washington and now Michigan steal some of our thunder, especially after Colorado is almost certain to get walloped for the third week in a row later this evening.

Looking ahead, though...we should be favored in our next three, while Minny catches a break with Purdue next week but then has Iowa, Indiana, and UCLA.
