Meh, we play in the Big Ten West. Our schedule is full of trash teams. Who is 2nd best Behind Michigan? A mediocre Wisconsin team or a shit Cockeye team that doesn’t play offense? With all of our shortcomings, drunk coaches, and shit teams we’ve had the past 5 years, they still lost like 30 games by 1 score the past 5 years. That’s practically impossible to do. Don’t be complete trash in the red zone and Nebraska is winning like 8 game a year minimum even with all these issues.
Big Favorites - (4) LA Tech, Northern Illinois, CU, and NW - These are garbage teams Nebraska should go 4-0 in these games
Tossup/Slight Favorites (4) - Purdoodoo, MSU, Maryland, Minnesota - All have huge flaws, are rebuilding, or are on The hot seat - Split these games 2-2
Small Dogs (3) - Cockeye, Wisconsin, Illinois - Slightly better but still have huge flaws - Go 1-2
Big dogs (1) Michigan - Probably getting murdered here - 0-1
It’s not that tough to map to 6 or 7 wins. Overachieve in some areas or get hot and more is on the table. There is no reason Nebraska should be losing EVERY SINGLE CLOSE GAME. Nebraska should not have been going 0-3 vs Minneos5a, Wisconsin, and Cockeye every fucking year, they aren‘t that good. They shouldnt be splitting games vs NW, Purdoodoo, Illinois, they aren’t that good. They should be able to get an upset every once in awhile.
tl;dr Big Ten West is trash
