If the Bye game counts as a W then yes, otherwise no. NW and Purdue I have as W, Minny is 50/50 the rest are L’s

I think Purdue is gonna stomp us.

I've got NW, Minny, and Iowa as potential wins.

I chose 5-7 but that is me thinking as optimistically as I possibly can.

4-8 is probably a bit more realistic.

Lots of teams on the apr list that could take a 5-7 slut before us

Yeah I’m extending a generous amount of latitude for reaching 5-7 but that’s the ceiling as I see it

[Driaz]

I voted 4-8. I agree with JJM and corn that 5-7 is the ceiling of what this team can reasonably hope for.

 

[iruletheskool]

Doubt we get 5 wins. Id have canned Riley yesterday after that ludicrous display

11/18 - @ Penn St (6-0) Won't Win
11/24 - Iowa (4-2) Won't Win


5-7 at best

 

[HuskerinBig10]

OK, I am going to be the odd one out.

6-6

Because of our fans traveling reputation Nebraska is selected. The fans won't go though.

3 others had Nebraska (6-6). You make 4, so not odd man out.

Besides Nebraska is guaranteed a bowl slot at (6-6) regardless of fan participation.

ive read where we should be dogs in every single game remaining....

the only thing the "fan"support would get us a game in dallas instead of NYC. plus who knows because all of these bowls now have different rules of how many times this team can play here and shit. (I think that rule came after the holiday bowl got sick of bo and nebraska got sick of the holiday bowl)

I voted 6-6 but I'm probably delusional

yeah but no one talked about it. I wrote before I voted so I did not see it until after I voted.

Yeah on the auto bid, I was being sarcastic about being selected at 6-6. Because they will be a bad 6-6 team. barely beat Sunbelt, lost to MAC, lost to PAC 12, steamrolled by Wisconsin and Ohio State, probably steamrolled by Penn State, and then ekes out three wins against the worst P5 Division in football(hopefully).

We all knew it was Wisconsin and then the rest of the teams would be battling for second. I think I predicted Wisconsin wins the West and everyone else not named Illinois or Purdue finishes 7-5. Looks like I am wrong about Purdue. Then, I drank too much Koolaid and went with Nebraska going 8-4. After watching the Ark State game, I realized the coaches were full of crap and were talking out of their derriere.

The Bowl Games Nebraska might make

No matter what, I will never attend a Pinstripe Bowl Game, ever.

I might attend a Quick Lane Bowl, because I am not sure if Quick Lane is a bowling alley or car repair. Plus, I have never been to Detroit and I always wanted to attend a Motor City Bowl. Bob Seger is a Detroit guy. BTW, I don't bowl with a bowling ball. I will assume Detroit looks a lot like Philadelphia with burned out and abandoned buildings every where. Plus, we could drive south from Detroit to get to Canada.

I might attend a bowl game in Dallas as I have lots of friends there. None of them are Nebraska fans.

Too bad Nebraska won't be going to Florida as that would be an easy attend for us since our son is currently in Orlando.

I will attend a Music City Bowl sometime in my life, my wife and I love Nashville. Almost went last year, but we were in scramble mode on getting our son situated for Grad School in Orlando on very short notice.
