Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
There's a good chance we'll end up ranked in the 20s when the final AP and Coaches polls are released.
Taking a look at who is ahead of us in the AP Poll:
19. Wisky L
20. A&M W
21. Fresneck L
22. Duke L
23. Georgia L
24. NIU L
25. ND W
USC W
Iowa L
Miami L
Vandy ?
Texas L
Cincy L
BGU L
That's 10 losses of the 14 teams ahead of us. FWIW, the two teams behind us lost and the other is NDSU. I could see us 22nd or 23rd.
Here's the coach's poll:
19. Wisky L
20. Fresneck L
21. Duke L
21. A&M W
23. NIU L
24. Georgia L
25. Miami L
Cincy L
Vandy ?
USC W
Iowa L
Texas L
Rice L
BGU L
ND W
Minnesota L
Ball State ?
Nebraska W
VTech L
13 losses ahead of us with a potential to be 15 losses. Maybe finish up 24th or 25th in the coaches?
What do you guys think?

The rankings top at 20 to me.
I'm older school btw.... imo 80% of these fucking bowel games are a waste of time and 7-8 win teams shouldn't even be participating in post season unless they've won their conference.
Hi, Sven!
I miss the days when Michigan can go 50-4-1 and only play in one bowl game.
Petersen is winning because Sark left the cupboard full. His last year of coaching he had the Huskies at 24th in the nation at the end of year, more improvement. UW got very unlucky and would have been playing in the playoffs year in year out. You think Petersen has 5 10+ seasons in a row without Sark's effort? I highly doubt that.
Meanwhile at USC Sark will have had one 10 win season (with a prestigious Alamo Bowel win) despite bringing in top 10 recruiting classes every year.
It's looking pretty good. It does mean something for both pride and recruiting.... it hasn't happened 12 years...
I will, however, stop using the term fresneck
