ESPN is a joke. I've lost all respect for (s)E(c)SPN. Don't watch them, don't visit their web site, don't really care what they do, or where they rank the 'Skers.

The "culture" of Nebraska Football has already started to change for the better with Scott Frost & Crew at the helm. More personal accountability and true competition for playing time has been lacking for a long time. That will change this season.

ESPN will pay dearly for their low Nebraska rating!

Not worried. The ranking means nothing. When the play on the field proves otherwise, the ranking will change. GBR!

I believe that ESPN and their preseason ranking of the Huskers is because they are looking at the past and not the future of this great program. GBR Steve Walker, a TRUE Husker fan in VOL country.

ratings doesn't mean anything until they play. Hopefully the cornhuskers will get back to being dominate in college football.

Actually, I don't give a hoot about ESPN and their FPI rating. I want to see the Big Red Machine take to the field this fall and WIN football games. Win/loss record, that the stat that counts.

I did want to say lower, but I think it's fair. There are so many unknowns at this point. how do you rank a team that hasn't played?

There are to many unknowns. Most of the rating is because of last years poor showing and new coaching staff. N will win at least 8 this year. Only the schedule and new system will prevent them from winning the west div this year.

A better team with better coaching... but the tough schedule will mask improvements. Look to 2019 instead.

you can't go from the outhouse at 4-8 to a middle of the row seat, things have to be proven and earned first, no gimmes

Does Nebraska’s collapse vs Minnesota signal a bigger issue?

Finally Nebraska sport writers are taking off their rose glasses and viewing the Line issues which has been growing (girth not strength) since Solich days when I saw the first fat lineman.

Dana Holgorson doesn't know what a run first offense is. I love the aggressive nature of his offenses but we will NEVER be great without being run first. Run first and then air raid.

If we hadn't lost to Michigan I would have felt it was a one off. The lack of adjustments looks like a coaching issue with multiple coaches offense and defense. The offensive line is pathetic and needs an upgrade.

Incompetent coaching staff, admitted out coached, the defensive coordinator didn’t even know who was playing in the second half

Need to come up with an offensive that fits the talent we have but doubt that will happen.

I feel it ease worries a LITTLE bit. I think he has already talked to his friend Pat, AD at Penn State, and was told that Penn State Alumni want someone more proven than Rhule. So, Rhule is way down the list.
