similar - Huskers started 1981 at 1-2
preseason ranked #7 fell to #17 after opening loss to unranked Iowa - up to #15 after 34-14 win over #19 Florida State - then out after 24-30 loss to #3 Penn St.

wonders if received enough votes to be #25 or better

Boy, Spurrier. 

Fun fact:  Florida began 1992 with a 1-2 record, but ranked #23, thanks to a #4 preseason ranking.
We lost @ Tennessee by a normal score, and the Vols were ranked as well.  But then we went on the road to Starkville and got blown out my MS ST.  I couldn't watch, because I was grounded.  I literally found an old-ass radio, plugged it in, and listened in horror as my mighty Gators got demolished 30-6. 

That was Spurrier's only close call.  12 years of badassery.  Florida did lose their last 3 games in 1999, but they were all top-10 teams.
It is coaching.  

Spurrier's very first game as the Gator's Head Coach was a 50-7 shellacking of unranked OkSU by unranked Florida.  He never coached an unranked Gator team again.
