Old Nebraska Guy Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Since we, Nebraska, may be hoping our APR is high enough I thought I would track the number of bowl-eligible teams available for the 39 bowls. After six weeks there are 7. Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Penn State, San Diego State, Washington, & Washington State. Eleven teams have five wins and 28 have four. 1 Quote Link to comment
sho Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm not even sold on getting to the minimum 5 wins to be worried about our APR. Love your optimism. Quote Link to comment
Whistlepig Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I can hear the new cries for our excepted mediocrity- APR! APR! APR! the old joke "at Nebraska the N stands for knowledge" coming into the mix 2 Quote Link to comment
broganreynik Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm usually as optimistic as it comes, but I think it will be a tough road to five wins. Ohio State and Penn State are nearly certain losses. Iowa and Minnesota are going to be pretty tough. I think splitting the two is being highly optimistic. I've thought we would lose to Minnesota since the pre-season. The way we've been playing along with Iowa seemingly having our number as of late, I don't see things going well. That leaves Purdue and Northwestern. Brohm has the Boilermakers playing a lot better than I would have expected. They already knocked off Minny, so they'll be tough too. Northwestern seems like our best bet for a win, but I'm certainly not counting on it. I think we will get to five, but it's going to be tougher than anyone should expect from a Nebraska team.

brophog Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Minnesota had a game this week against Purdue in which Purdue had 4 first half turnovers and Purdue still won. How do lose a game in which you get four first half turnovers? The first drive says it all: 3 plays, 1 yard, punt for 11 yards. That's pretty much how their day went. 1 Quote Link to comment
Frost Advisory Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I don't want to see us going to a bowl with 5 wins. We don't deserve it, especially after the NIU loss. We should turn down any participation toilet bowl. Quote Link to comment
