Someone missed the memo Nebraska is always rated in the top 15 this time of year.

I keep looking at Wisconsin's schedule and unless they are better than expected, I really think 3-9 is possible. Maybe they will pull a rabbit out of the hat to save their coach's job but that is a really difficult schedule.

My daughter will be a senior there (yeah, I know) and she was worried about getting student season tickets today but got them without a problem. I don't pretend to be an expert on Wisconsin student season tickets for football but I'd have to think everyone feels a little doom and gloom regarding their upcoming season.

Some respect for a change …

Win our first game decisively and we should hit the top 25 before week 2. That makes staying ranked throughout the year a lot easier. I’d love to see the Gophers ranked for 13 straight weeks (2 bye weeks).
