Somehow we could end up the season undefeated and I get the sense we would earn a 3 seed somehow.

…and or be undefeated going into the Michigan game, lose in a good game and get dropped in the rankings to like 23rd.

No respect.

I’m tired of the Nebraska doubters. I get it fuels this team, but any other name in the BIG on that jersey and no one would be asking if they are a fraud.

This team is #1-3 with almost any other P4 name on their chest.

Taking care of teams like no other, while having a ton of quad 1-2 and road wins stacking up.

I appreciated the B1G post game show ripping on anyone that doesn’t have NU has a 1 seed

Don't you dare talk about Bergen like that!

What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you stop degrading Bergen now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will bitch slap you.

Plastic surgery. Obstacle solved.

Vegas has really been undervaluing NU

It dropped down to -4.5 before tipoff so some dumb money on NW - probably Portnoy

Vegas lines are similar to the predictive metrics visible on KenPom, Torvik, and BPI. There may be an occasional bump one way or another due to homecourt or injuries. But it's usually not that far off.

I bring that up because Nebraska's metrics are still lagging a bit due to their lack of 35+ point wins vs some of their bad non con opponents. The efficiency metrics are adjusted according to the strength of their opponents.

I think this really stood out the last 3 games. Huskers should've been a slight favorite to pickem at worst in Columbus. While 11.5 points is a lot for a conference game, Huskers should've been closer to a 16 or 17 points fave over Oregon. And Nebraska -9.5 to -10 at Northwestern is where it needed to be.
