Nebraska Cornhuskers See Small Uptick in Rankings Despite Seven and Five RecordThe Nebraska Cornhuskers football team experienced a slight improvement in national polls and rankings this week, despite their seven and five overall record. Their average ranking across five different systems moved up to forty-four point six, compared to forty-five point four last week. This indicates a small positive shift in how analysts view the team.The teams best ranking comes from the Massey Ratings, where they climbed one spot to thirty-ninth. However, their lowest ranking is fifty-first in The Athletics one hundred thirty-six rankings. The team has not been ranked in the Associated Press Top Twenty-Five poll for eight consecutive weeks.Looking ahead, the College Football Playoff committee did not include Nebraska in their rankings, nor did any of their opponents make the final four. However, three of Nebraskas past opponents were ranked within the top twenty-five. The Huskers FPI odds show a zero percent chance of winning the Big Ten or making the College Football Playoff.This consistent monitoring of various polls provides an interesting snapshot of where the Huskers stand in the broader college football landscape, even during their off-season.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
