Fresh off a victory over the Maryland Terrapins, the Nebraska football team is officially a member of the AP Top 25. However, while Husker fans will undoubtedly be happy to see the team get this modicum of respect after a 5-1 start to the year, there's reason to think NU should be a bit higher.
Yes, the Cornhuskers are ranked No. 25 in the latest AP Top 25, and with very few high-profile wins on the resume, it really is good to "just be here." Matt Rhule's best win of the year, if the pollsters are judging wins against current Top 25 schools, is also a new entry in the AP Top 25 and is somehow ranked one spot ahead of the Huskers.
