USA Today predicts Nebraska to face 8 bowl teams

[HuskerinBig10]

Arkansas State 7-5 = 1-3 OOC
Oregon 8-4 = 1-2 OOC
Northern Illinois 8-4 = 2-2 OOC
Rutgers 2-10 = 0-9 B1G
Illinois 3-9 = 2-7 B1G
Wisconsin 11-1 = 8-1 B1G
Ohio State 12-0 = 9-0 B1G
Purdue 3-9 = 2-7 B1G
Northwestern 8-4 = 5-4 B1G
Minnesota 4-8 = 2-7 B1G
Penn State 10-2 = 7-2 B1G
Iowa 7-5 = 5-4 B1G

USA Today predicts Nebraska to go 8-4, 2-1 OOC, 6-3 B1G. Predicts nebraska loses to Oregon(I guess), but somehow Oregon loses to Southern Utah and Wyoming. I certainly do not see Nebraska losing to Arkansas State or Northern Illinois, although it is possible.

Six home games will be against teams predicted to go bowling, Ark State, Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Northwestern, and Iowa. two away games against teams going bowling, Penn State and Oregon.

Of course, USA Today might not have applied logic and cross examination to their creation of their predictions.

Wisconsin loses to someone in the B1G, not sure who though. The Nebraska game is in Lincoln, whereas their other tough conference games are in Madison. USA Today must think Nebraska can beat them. I consider that game a loss with Nebraska a 5% chance of a victory. Nebraska has a 0.08% chance against Ohio State and Penn State. (percentages made up on the spur of the moment)

My esteemed colleague, Brasky, believes Nebraska will beat BOTH Wisconsin and Ohio State in back to back weeks. Let's see, Nebraska comes off of a game with Wisconsin, meanwhile, Ohio State will have played Rutgers and Maryland before the Nebraska game.

Ohio State predicted to face 9 bowl teams, Wisconsin predicted to face five bowl teams. Washington predicted to face six bowl teams. Wisconsin and Washington have the easiest schedules and Wisconsin gets the easiest schedule.

Wow.

LY FSU played 9 bowl teams...8 of them in a row.

(I should have started a thread)

USA today has Oregon at 8-4 overall and 5-4 in conference. meaning they think Oregon will win all 3 out of conference games.

We were similar - 10 bowl teams, 8 in a row.

You suckers need to learn how to schedule a patsy (like my Miners...or worse) in the middle of a stretch like that!

 

[BTHOtu]

Looks legit

 

[Rolltide94]

There are 39 bowl games this year...so 78 bowl teams.

If you're in a P5 conference upwards of 70% of your opponents are going bowling right off the bat.

I mean, we played 10 last year and 8 of them were in our conference, with 39 bowls, 8 bowl opponents should be the norm, not the exception.

Wait
Bowl Teams??? is something now.

Especially those heroic 6-7 teams

Wouldn't it just be better to say "Teams that almost went .500 and better"

Although I could see Oregon losing to Wyoh, but don't see them beating N'braska, even at home. Clearly whomever made this up wasn't paying enough attention.

 

[Gopherfan84]

Nice to see somebody is looking realistically at us this season. They must have us beating both Illinois and Purdue, and I can see us losing at least one of those games potentially.

Just so we're clear, Nebraska fired a coach that was winning them 9/10 games a year

 

[tnapucco]

Well, you have to take into account that there are a few teams/conferences that schedule reanimated corpses of paraplegic grandmothers for OOC games. Do that 3 times and you're halfway to bowl eligibility.

Meh.

please tell us how. because I don't see Oregon losing to either and Wyoming wont even be close

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

and told the fans to go fuck themselves, called his boss a pussy, hit a ref in the face with his hat and was blown out in games he should have competed.

please tell us how.

By scoring fewer points! Duh...

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

That seems better than getting blown out in most games you should have competed in....Did Pelini ever have a game like Nebraska Ohio State 2016?

"Frank Solich was awful!"

Twice. Don't forget about Solich.

I think 9 loses of 20+ points.
I believe Wisconsin just ran another end around and scored on the 2012 defense.
