zoogs Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yeah, and on the bright side this is a fairly bright guy I think present impersonal data-driven analysis. Just take it with a huge caveat: don't confuse numbers or their use with science. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Analytics are great if you have a lot of data to plug into your formula. Nebraska has a lot of unknows to plug into the formula so you get this. Quote Link to comment
boach_clack Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 so basically we can got 12-0 or 0-12? Got it! bring on the season. #AnalyticsMakeMyHeadHurt Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 http://www.cfbanalytics.com/predictions.php This was posted on Scout. This site has us going 8-4 with 1pt losses to Ohio State and Wisconsin, a 7pt loss @Oregon, and a 16pt loss @PSU. They have us in a lot of dog fight wins, which probably signifies that their formula doesn't know what to expect from us at this point (how could it?). Seems fair but it would be brutal to have all these close games this year haha. How would people feel about this version of an 8 win season? A close loss to Ohio State would be heartbreaking, but also promising. Another close loss to Wisconsin would suck though, need to get over that hump already. Wisconsin: 11-1 Northwestern: 9-3 Iowa: 6-6 Just for discussion purposes, obviously can't take any analytics as complete truth yet, especially with how many changes we have in place. 1 Quote Link to comment
drfish Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Call it whatever you want, it is still just a big guess. Who predicted Penn State would win the B1G through analytics last year. Reminds me of: Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Call it whatever you want, it is still just a big guess. Who predicted Penn State would win the B1G through analytics last year. Reminds me of: Great point. Or Iowa's success the year before.... Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Some people take these predictions way too serious. This is nothing more than a guess by someone with extremely incomplete data. They could be right or wrong. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just play the game and win. 2 Quote Link to comment

If Tanner Lee is able to control possession and defense doesnt give up big plays, we should be in position to win a few games. With that said, 9-3 is pretty lofty. Im thinking 8-4. This pretty much mirrors my sentiments. If QB and defense play well we can beat Oregon, Minny, Iowa. OSU and Wisconsin look like losses. I will be interested to see if Penn State can be as good as last year. Those 6 teams best outcome is 4-2 but easily could be 2-4. So it's probably 3-3 in those games. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Oregon State "keeps getting more competetive under Andersen" ? This is why Riley has a D+? Uh, they went 4-8 last year. 2-10 the year before that. Ya, they improved, but in no way do those 2 records show that Oregon State is better now than they were with Riley. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 They did double their win total! Ha Quote Link to comment

dvdcrr Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I've been watching football for four decades. Nebraska is going to beat the expectations this year. Our HC is putting in more heart and soul this year, you can tell by watching the post practice interviews. We have a DC who is certainly one of the nations best, and he is really pumping up this team, and coaching well. Human nature is to expect linear future patterns. However, our potential upside is more exponential than linear. And emotion cannot be measured by statistics. Think Louisville/ Clemson last year. Any team other than Clemson loses that game. But not Dabo's boys. EMOTION. DIACO NU WINS Quote Link to comment

Especially with that linebacker who left, went to Alabama, won the starting job and helped win a national title. He was part of that bare cupboard. Quote Link to comment
