wow, we're even ahead of USF...some folks expecting a decent season out of us.

UIHuskie · 05-27-2010 05:01 PM

I picked up Lindy's today and it has NIU at #93, which I think is ridiculously low. The 3 BCS opponents are #50 Iowa State, #68 Illinois, and #73 Minnesota.

chihuskie · 05-27-2010 06:50 PM

If we can beat the teams on our schedule, we can end ranked there or higher, but as a pre-season - too high, and who cares.

Milhouse · 05-27-2010 07:01 PM

Thats why they play the games, boys . . . . GO HUSKIES!

bikechuck · 05-27-2010 07:41 PM

Pre-season rankings are not worth the recycled electrons that it takes to post them.

NIUfilmmaker · 05-27-2010 09:05 PM

I agree, but its nice to see us getting solid props from a professional sportswriter, positive press is positive press, hopefully a few solid high-school recruits sees the list (WITH MICHIGAN TRAILING US, SWEET!).

Huskiefan38 · 05-27-2010 10:27 PM

I wonder what sportingnews is so excited about ... I wasn't expecting a horrible season but #50 seems a little high to me .. interesting

NIURedBlack · 05-28-2010 12:15 AM

Horvath's gone, the Hanbro's are done, the Huskies won't stop until the game is won!

Wow very nice and certainly a bit surprising.

NIU007 · 05-28-2010 02:15 PM

I'm an optimist and I wouldn't put us that high.

HuskieRak · 05-28-2010 02:26 PM

Kinda disappointed I have to wait 50+ days to see the review.. Damn

~~MaddDawgz02~~ · 05-28-2010 07:09 PM

According to these rankings we should run the table! wooot

cyberdawg · 05-28-2010 10:30 PM

It's summer time folks .....and the kool aid has been mixed, stirred, poured and gulped.

After the top 30 and bottom 30 who's ranked in the middle is puppycock.

Wow very nice and certainly a bit surprising.

Did you really need to quote the whole list?

HuskieFan84 · 05-30-2010 08:49 AM

To show where we are in comparison to the teams we play, I think it made sense to copy the whole list.

You copying the whole list again was pretty unnecessary.

hahah...very good point.

Phil Steele doesn't think much of Minnesota or the Illini based on his preseason all conference player ratings:

http://philsteele.com/Pdf/2010/10Preseas...20Team.pdf

No MN players on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd teams on either side of the ball. One G, KR and FS on the 4th team.

Illini have one CB on 1st team, one RB and LB on 2nd team, one OT, DL and CB on 4th team.

Looks like a dominant year for Iowa, OSU & Wisky. I believe alot of those Iowa & Wisky players will be gone when those teams get on the Huskies schedule.
