It will be interesting. North Carolina, Iowa and Michigan are ranked, Tennessee Tech is normally their conference's champion, Nebraska is a perennial post season team. Nebraska & TN Tech have started slow, but everybody gets geared up for competition like this. These next three weeks will determine how much this team has changed from last year.
