Your Nebraska Cornhuskers debut at 22nd in the initial Associated Press media poll for the 2014 College Football season.
The Huskers, who are one of 4 Big Ten teams ranked, were ranked in the same 22nd spot in the initial Amway Coaches Poll for the season as well.
While the AP poll is more about rank than it is about picking the new CFB Playoff teams, the Committee can use it to make decisions for their selection at the end of the year.
