Omaha is rocketing up the rankings, they've gained nearly 50 spots since we played them.  Northern Kentucky has cracked the top 300, and Rhode Island is still looking like a reasonably quality loss.  I think 4-2 from the next six is not an unreasonable expectation, with a halfway decent shot at 5-1.

BTW, 49r, thanks for doing this every year.  This is always one of the best threads throughout the season.  I don't have a Kenpom subscription and, while I could scan the database to come up with what

I like this 49'r kid.

On a related note, isn't it cool to look for a Husker score on ESPN and not have to go beyond the "Top 25" list to find it?

I've seen a couple places that our projected SOS is top 10. Rpiforecast has it #9 right now and statsheet (I have no clue what theirs is based on) has it #2. That's a pretty stout schedule.

Lots of games involving NU opponents last night, so I thought it would be a good time to do a midweek KenPom update.  So here goes.

 

Michigan State (5-3) moves up a spot with a loss to Notre Dame, Ohio State moves down.  Cincinnati moves back in front of Creighton for the highest ranked non-con home opponent.  Wichita State lost to Utah (KenPom #28) but remains in the top 10.

Lets do a little pregame edition of the KenPom rankings since there were some stunning upsets yesterday.  The biggest movers were Michigan and Purdue (both down about 20 spots) and Rhode Island (up 20), and I gotta think a win today would do wonders for the Huskers ranking as well.

It's pretty clear that there are 5 distinct clusters in the B1G right now, and we are at the bottom of #4.

But conference play is just around the corner, and so are the returns of Leslee and Moses, so there will be plenty of opportunities for us to make the best of a terrible situation.

Lots of shuffling in the middle of the B1G pack this week, I suppose that's the way it'll be for a while now.  Cincinnati is the one bright shining jewel on our resume right now...hopefully we can polish up another one on Sunday.  Here we go.

Speaking of runs at the bubble, I'm thinking the B1G gets, what, about 6 teams in this year? 

 

That means we'd have to climb over about 5 other teams in the conference.  That's a lot of climbing.  Fortunately, there are 5 teams in front of us that aren't exactly juggernauts.

 

We can do it but we have to start winning a pretty high percentage of our remaining games.
