Below are the final 1997 results of several different college football polls, along with the Huskers final ranking.
Poll Rank Comments
 USA/ESPN_Coaches_Poll  1  
 AP Sportswriters Poll 2  
 TheBob Top 20 1  
 Sagarin's Power Ratings: 1  
 NY Times Computer: 1     Michigan slipped from 1st to 3rd in this final poll
 Scripps Howard: 1  
 CBS Fan poll 1  
 CNN/SI Fan poll 1  
 ESPN_Fan_poll 2     Michigan had only 347 more total points than Nebraska, while Nebraska had 2177 more first place votes than Michigan, which makes this poll very suspect in my mind. It means many people rated Nebraska lower than 2nd...a lot lower. It probably just means that Michigan fans are a lot less honest than Nebraska fans, since clearly Nebraska and Michigan were the top two teams this year. When I voted, I voted Michigan 2nd, not 25th to try and influence the results. Oh well.
