Nebraska has the privelege of hosting the #1 team in the nation this evening on primetime ABC. It seems kind of silly that USC is ranked #1 after only two weeks of the seaon and they've only played 1 game. I still will never really understand the purpose of preseason rankings. I don't think that the rankings should start until the 3rd or 4th week at least. It gives teams an unfair advantage when they are preseason ranked in the top 5 because if they lose early, they don't drop very far i.e. Notre Dame the past two seasons. Teams like Wisconsin, who last year started unranked worked their way up to finishing #7 but were left out of a BCS game because a crappy Notre Dame team started really high and never dropped far after their losses. (anyway, that was for my Bucky friend)
But tonight in Lincoln should be a good game and matchup. Nebraska must play well on both sides of the ball if they want to pull out a win. In Lincoln, the crowd should be rowdy and I'm sure USC is going to be sick of seeing the color red after this weekend. If Nebraska wants to establish themselves as a powerhouse like past years, they must win this game...otherwise it's going to be like recent seasons and they will have to settle for another New Year's Day bowl that won't mean anything.
Let's go HUSKERS!!!! Knock the stupid Trojans off of this ridiculous pedestal that people put them on because they are USC.
