Nebraska football re-enters coaches' poll
Sometimes it pays to take a few days off.
Nebraska football players have the weekend off from action and practice. But they once again can say they’re a top 25 team, as they re-entered the US LBM Coaches Poll at No. 25.
The Huskers are 5-1 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten as they eye a matchup Saturday against upstart Indiana (6-0, 3-0), which also was off Saturday. The Hoosiers are 18th in the coaches’ poll and 16th in the AP Top 25, which also was released Sunday.
Nebraska remains outside the top 25 in the AP ratings, checking in at the equivalent of No. 27 in terms of votes received.

Nebraska benefits from OU, Utah losses
Nebraska benefited this week from losses by Oklahoma and Utah, which both tumbled from the coaches’ poll. The Sooners (4-2, 1-2 Big 12) lost a 34-3 decision to top-ranked Texas, while the Utes (4-2, 1-2) dropped a 27-19 verdict Friday at Arizona State.
Nebraska was ranked 22nd in the coaches’ poll before an overtime loss to Illinois on September 20.
Texas, Oregon, and Penn State — each with a 6-0 record — occupy the top three spots of both the coaches’ and AP ratings.
