Your Nebraska Cornhuskers benefit from their second bye week this morning with a jump of 3 spots in the Amway Coaches Poll to 11th for Week 12.
Nebraska, who go on the road this week for a large Big Ten West showdown with the Wisconsin Badgers in Madison this Saturday afternoon, got the benefit from a Michigan State loss as well as Kansas State's defeat to TCU. This is the highest the Huskers have been in the poll this year.
In the Massey index, the Huskers actually DROPPED a spot because of SOS and Defensive index. Don't sweat that though.
Both polls are listed below, we will have the Associated Press when it drops in a few hours.
