Can We Win Out?

It's gonna be tough.

We're probably 30% to win against MSU, 50% to beat Penn State, and 50% to beat Iowa. So we have about an 8% chance of winning out

That's how I feel. I think Nebraska's lucky that the Big isn't exactly at their strongest right now like us. I expect the rest of the games to all be nail biters.

doesn't it seem like most conferences are down? i just find it odd.

6.5-point dogs aren't usually 51% to win

I thought we were 3.5 (Vegas) and 4 (Sagarin) point dogs this week.

Looks like it opened at 3.5 but must have jumped to 6.5 pretty quickly.

Based on the top 25 I would say the SEC, Pac 12 and ACC (FSU #2, Clemson #8) are all doing pretty good compared to the Big 10. Even the Big 12 has more ranked teams than the Big 10 currently except in the coaches poll where Minnesota eaked out Georgia for the #25th spot this week.

Does kind of seem that way. Big XII and Big 10 are definitely down. ACC might be a little better than it has been for awhile just based on two really good teams. After that they drop off pretty fast. Pac 12 might be as good as it ever has been - two elite teams then 4-5 that are decent - although really bad at the bottom. It doesn't seem like the SEC is quite as good as it has been but their 2-5 teams are better than anyone else's. But the bottom 4-5 teams are not very good.

 
Can we win out? Yes. The better question is will we? As improved as we think this team is I still believe coaching is a weak link and we will drop atleast one more.

O ye of little faith. We will beat MSU who will become 0-8 all-time vs NU which will then take precedence over Michigan's 19-1 home record under Brady Hoke

We can win out the regular season. I don't think we can win out the regular season, CCG and bowl game. To win out the regular season we need:

  • no more injuries on offense
  • no key injuries on defense
  • stick with the pressure on D

It does when you're asking for kool-aid w/ regards to a beating MSU thread

Let's not worry about winning out. Let's be 1-0 after Saturday. (I think that's the old saying or something)

i am just speaking in general. a lot of two loss teams and teams that just do not meet the eye-test.

The way I would describe the B1G is that the peaks aren't as high as the other conferences but the valleys don't seem to be as low either.

 
I really think that the Hail Mary saved your season and sparked some momentum that you sustained this week with another dramatic comeback. A loss against NW and the wheels would have fallen off, imo. In the minutes leading up to the NW trip drill, I thought you were going to lose the rest of your games. Now, aside from MSU, you're clear favorites the rest of the way.

Both PSU and Iowa are physical, however. NEB will probably be beat up after this MSU game. If it's a demoralizing loss, I could see you falling to either or both of PSU and Iowa. Should be an interesting final three games.
