[DefensiveLineU]

Pick Six Previews has been named "most accurate BCS/Power 5 predictions" since 2012, and are as detailed a season preview as you can find. They have Nebraska winning the West, and offer a hard-hitting intro too: http://www.picksixpreviews.com/2015-big-ten-west-division-preview.html

"It would be nice if we never had to hear the Bo Pelini – Nick Saban comparison stat ever again. "

 

 

That's the first senctence of the article. I like it already.

It would be much nicer to never hear about our last coach again.

Gosh seeing Missouri there in the rival trophies section is nice. I would like to schedule them for a non-conference game. It's amazing that they could win a third straight SEC WEst (or East don't know division) title.

Seeing ESPN rated 22nd out of 26 sources when it comes to accuracy ratings is great

I love how the Broken Chair is listed as a trophy game.

I can't disagree with their prediction. BTW, Missery is in the SEC East. GBR!

I didn't see anything that was surprising in the article. I agree with most of it. I think the season comes down to 2 games, and I am not talking about Wiscy and MSU. I think it comes down to BYU and Miami. If we can win both those games, it sets up for a great year. On the flip side, if we lose both games we are in for a long year. I believe it will come down to confidence in the game plan and coach. So winning early will be key.

No it comes down to talent or lack there of. We have an upgrade in coaching I think, in every aspect. We have lost a lot of talent this year. All American running back, what should have been a top ten drat pick off the defense. We do not see those type of departures that often. If the staff can get the talent to buy in as alluded to, we will see a good season. But beating Miami and BYU is not anything like being able to beat Michigan State.

BYU and Miami are early games, and non conference games. If we lost both yet went undefeated in conference play, nobody would really care much we lost those since we would be playing for a conference title at 10-2.

 

It comes down to MSU and Wiscy, no doubt about it.

Hands down my favorite season preview thus far. Maybe I am biased, but I have never been ready to crown Wiscy the division winner like a lot of people have. Sure their season is pretty much cake after Bama, but I don't expect their transition to go as smoothly as ours and I think we beat them in Lincoln. Heck I see them losing to Minnesota too.

[Red Five]

Basically we need to beat Wisconsin if we want to win the West. Its gonna be awful hard to make up the tiebreaker if we lose to them. Lose to them and we would need to go 7-1 and hope for them to go 6-2. Or we need to go 6-2 and hope for them to go 5-3.

I said it in another thread. AA is a loss for sure, but Gregory's impact on games was almost non existent last year. He had about 4 good games and that was it. How many games did he miss or play very little in I think it was 3. He played well against MSU that is really the only game I remember him having an impact.

 

Man you got to trust that at least one of those RB we have will step up and make plays. They were all quality backs coming into the system. Everything will be alright at the RB position.

 

We have talent it is just unproven..

I'll disagree. It comes down to beating Wisconsin and Minnesota. If we can do that, then given we win the rest of the games on our conference schedule, whatever we do against Michigan State doesn't matter. We win, we're 8-0. We lose, we're 7-1 and hold the tiebreaker over the winner of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
