Miles just needs to put up 13 conference wins on a more consistent basis, that's all.  Then they'll extend him a couple of years.

Strong start to the season for the Big Ten.  12 teams are in the top 50!!! and we're getting close to having all 14 in the top 100, Rutgers has jumped up 40 spots since the last update!  Other moves of note include Indiana leapfrogging Michigan, OSU and Nebraska are moving up and Iowa and Penn State are sliding back.

 

Not a lot of movement for our non-con opponents other than Creighton and Oklahoma State moving in the wrong direction.  The Cowboys have a nice schedule with opportunities to rack up some nice wins.  Creighton is about to enter into a meat grinder.  

 

As of right now our non-con SOS is a measly 315th best, but it's early and there's lots of movement in store.  With that said, here we go!

Twelve Big Ten teams in the top 50.  That's insane.  Has that ever happened before?

What a difference a year can make. Appears that the whole league is playing with a bit of an attitude after last year's "down" perception.

Not sure but as far as the P5 conferences go:

 

Big 12 has 9 out of 10 in the top 50.  Oklahoma state is #70

ACC has 4 in the top 10, 7 in the top 20, and only Wake Forest (#102) and Pitt (#121) outside the top 100

SEC has 10 teams in the top 60 and only Georgia (#105) outside the top 100

Pac 12 is a disaster though.  8 teams outside the top 50.  Nebraska would be the second highest ranked team if it were in the Pac 12.

[49r]

We're #1!!!

This might be the only time in program history this will ever happen, so we should enjoy it. Even if it is just Sagarin.

Get a screen shot!

 

Must be the improved competition!  Last year played worst team in Delaware St.  This year played fourth worst team, MVSU.

 

Really need to find a way to not schedule a +350 team.

Notice Seton hall was #21 in sagarin?

 

Lol

 

We might stay pretty high for a while if we just keep winning

[tcp]

ah, good ol' margin of victory coming to the Sagarin rescue. 

[kleitus]

Another interesting stat/ranking :

 

skip past the blank teams that haven't played a d1 game yet...

 

https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/opponent-points-per-game?date=2018-11-13

 

#1 defense in America.  By four points per game.

 

... yes I know we haven't played anyone with a pulse.  Smile and enjoy it.

Texas Tech has struggled tonight with SEL.

 

Becoming a blowout midway through second half but still a totally different, more old school Nebraska like game by Tech.

[Norm Peterson]

Up six spots to 27th.  Nice work, gents.

this is definitely not the texas tech team from last year. i think we'd beat them fairly easy.

 

i think usc would be the tougher matchup for us.

[HuskerActuary]

Sagarin just updated. We are still #1 in the land, by a pretty healthy margin.

Michigan with the HUGE leap up from 27th to 11th!  Indiana also makes a big jump up, 8 spots.  Our Huskers get a nice 6 spot boost with their win, leapfrogging ahead of Ohio State (although I think that will probably be short lived, as OSU will likely jump back ahead of us after they beat Creighton tonight).

 

Seton Hall drops 11 spots, hopefully they can get it turned around.  USC only moves up one spot despite crushing Stetson by 36.  Clemson is dropping, down now to 20th, due to posting relatively unimpressive wins versus 3 sub-250 teams.

 

That's all the big changes for today, so here we go!

Well I guess I was wrong about that.  OSU only moved up 3 spots to 29.  We're still ahead of them for now.

Your thread is a lot better this year. Got the Huskers top 30.  You've really upped your game.  Props.

Pretty remarkable for how down the conference was last year.
