Nebraska Cornhusker fans have been taking social media by storm this week after the Cincinnati Bearcats were ranked No. 24 in the AP Poll, with Nebraska coming in at No. 25.

Nebraska fan Jesse Pierce had some words for Dave Ramsey, who hosted a college football show, attacking him for agreeing that Cincinnati should be ranked higher. "NU absolutely waxed Cincinnati to start the season." Waxed is strong language; the Bearcats lost by 3 points due to a Brendan Sorsby interception in the final minute of the game, his only interception of the year.

Calling Iowa State a bad team is far-fetched as well. Yes; the Cyclones lost to a bad Colorado team, but they are still 5-2 with wins over the Iowa Hawkeyes and Kansas State Wildcats.

Nebraska's only loss is to Michigan, which has since fallen out of the ranking after a loss to No. 20 USC. Should Michigan be ranked at No. 25 ahead of Nebraska? Cincinnati has played 5 games since losing to Nebraska and has looked like a better football team; it is that simple.
