At least the AP got it right dropping Texas and PSU out

Man, Penn State dropped 21 spots in the AP Poll. Love it, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

It's almost like the AP voters got tired of waiting for them to actually beat someone.

I believe PSU is still a top 10-15 team and that UCLA is going to possibly get bowl eligible. UCLA’s QB is a problem to deal with.

Interesting that Cincinnati is ranked higher than us even though we beat them. We just have to keep winning!

Already laying the cope foundations for when they come into Lincoln and leave with a W? Sad.

Anyways, if we beat Maryland and USC, we deserve to be ranked. Otherwise nah

Yeah they’re probably top 15 - I can see that. But I can’t think of any team that got more media mileage from close losses than the ‘24 and ‘25 Nittany Lions.

Some teams improve as the season goes on…

When who comes into Lincoln? NU plays Maryland, PSU and UCLA, all on the road. So who are you referring to?

Right where we belong.

 

[cubsker15]

I doubt we're a top 30 team

I doubt we're a top 30 team

if we could get the oline to pass block, we would defiantly be in the top 20..all them receivers we got would be of use

 

[cubsker15]

I agree

Curious as to how Cin is ahead of us. I dont care as there is still plenty of season left to go. I will say that that win is starting to look better and better tho.

They beat an undefeated ranked team. We had a chance to beat a one loss ranked team and couldn’t do it.

I watched UCLA dismantle PSU’s defense and pressure PSU’s QB. They looked like a completely different team with their coaching changes.

It will be interesting to see how they do at Michigan St. on Saturday.

Matchups play such a huge role these days it seems. Not sure how MSU’s defense will deal with their offense. MSU can’t turn the ball over like they did against us.

Wild, could’ve sworn when UCLA pushed us around last year it was an away game, and part of the baked in excuse as to why it happened.

Thats fair.

 

[bmb81664]

At least we can say we have beaten a team that is currently ranked.
