Nebraska moved up in both polls after beating Oklahoma State 51-41 to move to 6-1 on the season. The Huskers moved to #12 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, and #14 in the Media/AP Poll.

Missouri, the Huskers next opponent, remained undefeated after upsetting Oklahoma yesterday 36-27. The Tigers are ranked #8 in the Coaches Poll, and #7 in the AP.

Texas dropped from both polls after losing 28-21 to Iowa State at home. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!)

Baylor moved to 6-2 with a win over Kansas State 47-42, and into the rankings as they're 25th in the AP and 24th in the Coaches Poll.

Baylor leads the Big 12 South with a 3-1 record trailed by Oklahoma State at 2-1, while Missouri leads the Big 12 North at 3-0, trailed by Nebraska at 2-1.

Fantasy-Land

I just wonder if there’s someone in Waco right now prank calling Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott.

“You still sure you wanted Colorado instead of Baylor? Oh, I see, you wanted an additional cupcake game without going out-of-conference.”

“Excuse me, but here’s your friendly reminder that lowly Baylor is ranked and leading the Big 12 South. And your precious, Texas, is unranked and 4th in the standings.”

It’s interesting to see, for one year anyway. Who knows if this will ever happen again. History says “No”. RGIII has to leave sometime, and Art Briles may very well get hired away.

Dude.

As Nebraska fans, we aren’t really in any place to be knocking another team’s home loss to Iowa State— particularly when said team came to NU’s house and whipped ’em.

Should Nebraska conquer ISU on the road in two weeks, then we can resume our regularly-scheduled smack talk.

Ok.. this is reaching but calms my nerves

Last year, Nebraska lost a home game under “flukey/voo-doo” circumstances by one score after not being able to hang onto the ball. The next week, the Huskers went on the road against a B12 South team and won by 10. Two weeks after the tough loss at home, Nebraska [at home] beat a higher ranked team after said team had a tough home win the week before.

This year, Nebraska lost a home game under “flukey/voo-doo” circumstances by one score after not being able to hang onto the ball. The next game, the Huskers went on the road against a B12 South team and won by 10. A week after that win, we’ll play a higher ranked team after that team had a tough home win the week before.

I’m not sayin…. ya know.
…I’m just sayin…
