vs Austin Peay - W
at Michigan - L
at Miami ( Ohio ) - W
at Navy - L
vs Marshall - W
vs UCF - W
vs SMU - W
at USF - L
at Tulane - W
vs Temple - L
at East Carolina - W
vs UConn - W

Already correct with the 2-2.

8-4 seems accurate so far. I think we'll end up losing to SMU and beat Temple.

I am predicting 9-3. Best case scenario 10-2. Worst case scenario 5-7.

I am not too confident of my pick vs these teams...

Iowa State - They are built around the pass game and that is the weak point of Iowa's defense, and Iowa fans can never bee confident against ISU.
Michigan State - They were terrible last year, but Iowa is taking a big hit from last year as well. New QB, weak WR corp, weak DBs. MSU has Dantonio as well. I do think Iowa has the better RB and better D front.
Northwestern - They have been a team to upset Iowa. I am not sure if it would be considered an upset this year. They will have the better RB but I think Iowa will have the better running game, with the Nevada grad transfer. But NW has a strong defense as well.
Wisconsin - Iowa does line up good against them, but will not be the better team. Iowa is built around the run on both sides of the ball. I think if Iowa keeps Wisconsin under 20 points, Iowa has a good chance.
Purdue - Trap game for Iowa. Purdue will be built around the pass and is the week after Wisconsin.
Nebraska - Nebraska had an interesting season last year. Losing Armstrong Jr makes them more of a question mark. However, it could be a year where Riley's system works. I think Iowa has the advantage, but Iowa will have their struggles.

Not too bad so far

I might need to update my 10-2 to 11-1 based on the shortness of everyone else.

7samurai13- Michigan State - 7-5
I thought we were 50-50 for Notre Dame and I was expecting a loss to Michigan and Minnesota. Still expecting a loss to Penn State and Ohio State. That Northwestern game has Same Old Spartans written all over it. On the road, Penn State the next week, Northwestern is tough on us in Evanston for some god damn reason.

Nebraska didn't lose 4 games yet.
Or did they???

I can't remember.

You know it’s bad when you can’t remember how many games your team has lost. The struggle is real.

To be fair, that's the alcohol poisoning talking.

23-0.

After winning the natty, my team will get an invite to the NFL playoffs, win the super bowl, playing through both the AFC and NFC brackets. They will then play, and defeat, an NFL all star team.

Or maybe 8-4, worser case....

It seems I may have made a slight miscalculation in my preseason assessment. This should read :

"We'll be lucky to get 6 wins, get embarrassed a couple of times on national TV and be clamoring for Scott Frost to come in and extinguish this dumpster fire before we're half way through the season."

Pretty sure we Nebraska fans will win most delusional, unless some other team has a complete meltdown.

Nebraska just might finish 3-9.
My Logical Best case scenario 5-7.
My Logical Worst case scenario 4-8, Nebraska gets one more win.
Nebraska has a bye week to ponder everything.
My Logically, four of the next five games, Nebraska could win. Purdue will be favored by 3, unless they lose to Rutgers next week.

Riley has lost three road games each year at Nebraska; already an Oregon Loss, Penn State will be a loss, and he has two more chances at it.
Nebraska has two home games left vs Northwestern and Iowa. Riley has yet to beat Iowa.

Nebraska has coin flips with Purdue, Northwestern, and Minnesota.

I also hate when I am autocorrected.

The 9-3 prediction for Mizzou remains the most delusional.

Somehow or another they have Idaho and Connecticut as their next two games, and those are the only two games left on their schedule I can see them winning.
