What % chance does Nebraska have to go 2-0 vs PSU and Cockeye?

[Mr.Bojangles]

Skers by 90!!!!!!

 

[Mavsker]

Objectively we are underdogs in both
40% x 40% = 16%
Somewhere in that range. I'd take 1-1 in a heartbeat

 

[RedSavage]

1-1

We will cover vs PSU but ultimately fall short. We will beat Cockeye.

Same chance that me and Jim become platonic heterosexual friends

Yea, the transition from "casual fuck buddies" to "just friends" is always tougher then people realize.

Serious question....what would this line have been if Raiola was healthy? PSU -3 or -4?

The reason it's PSU -10.0 is bc we have a backup QB. But a lot of our fans think the offense functions better with the backup (?). They should be all over this for Nebraska then.

there is no question a win against either of our remaining opponents would rank as the best win of the entire Rhule tenure at NU.

I think they're significant in the fact that we'd be 9-3 if we won both. Don't think 1-1 vs 0-2 is significant. Bowl game doesn't change. They're not great teams.

Now go 9-3 and that doesnt get you into the playoffs because we dont have any good wins. Our best win will be Cincinnati and they're for sure out of the playoffs now.

But it does get you into the conversations of playoffs. Media saying why we aren't going to be in is better than not even talking about us.

9-3 would be AMAZING!! my Happy Ending Society wants that, but my heart tells me to be true to it's feelings....

FPI says ~12.4%

Just a reminder of how probability works, if we are 50% to win each, that’s still only 25% to win BOTH.

beating Cockeye would be a much better win than cincy, which is likely to finish 7-5

agree with the rest

That assumes independent draws bucko

 

[BugeaterInWa]

We’ll ass rape them both

I could get behind this.

Meh. Not enough difference to argue about. Cockeye would be 7-5 with a loss to us. Cincinnati will be 8-4 but in the Big 12. So maybe Cockeye would be a little better.

Penn St unquestionably has the better talent. Comes down to how little they care. Night game there might be enough to get them hyped up early.

Wrong dumb dumb. 50% + 50% = 100%
