Nebraska ranked 22nd???

Please answer this only if you watched most of the game between Nebraska and Texas on Saturday. If you did, does Nebraska deserve the BCS rating of 22nd that they got after losing only 2 points to the 5th rated Texas team??? (Texas only went down to 7th after the game and Nebraska was 17th last week before the game)

    being a husker fan it doesn't really matter,they will get a bowl bid but more importantly another shot on dec. 2nd in the big 12 championship to knock texas out of the national title game.

    HUSKER POWER!

    The question should be, does Texas deserve the #5 rating THEY got?

    BTW, a friend of mine went to both Nebraska (lost with 23 seconds left) and UCLA (lost to ND with 27 seconds left). Imagine how she feels only 50 seconds from having her teams pull two major upsets!

    the bcs is based on computer averages, nebraska's strengh of schedule is not as high as texas's. therefore, nebraska would have a lower score from the computer average. the computer only rewards big margins of victory. since nebraska lost, the have a lower score, it doesnt matter that it was only 2 pts. it still is a loss.

    Nebraska did play a great game. They deserved to stya at 17th or maybe go down one place. It was a big disjustice.

    I stay in England which isn't New England yet that sturdy previous place in united kingdom which became risky even formerly any variety of states existed. on condition that then we've become slightly greater state-of-the-artwork, lots so as that we now have stumbled at something of the international.

    I see you are complaining that they are ranked #22, be happy, if Texas had a reliable PK they would have lost in the 3rd Qt.

    BTW Tex. is overrated too.
