Robin Washut ‏@RobinWashut 2m Bo Pelini confirms that linebacker David Santos (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Illinois. #Huskers Brian Christopherson ‏@HuskerExtraBC 40s Pelini said Santos is doubtful this week but called it "no big deal, nothing long term." #Huskers

Probably referring to him already committing and de-committing to UCLA.

Not sure if you mean to-date or for the year but so far (according to Sagarin) aTm, Baylor, Michigan St., Notre Dame, Stanford, Mississippi St. and Arizona St. all have easier schedules and Wisconsin and Ohio St. aren't ahead of us by much. I'm saying it's the eye test. I would hope (probably ill-fated) that we can all agree that FAU, McNeese and Fresno are very bad. In fact, the FCS squad may be the best we've faced so far. We frankly so not know how good Miami is, and won't until later, but they don't look good. Talented yes, but not good. I'm happy with Tommy too. So I'm not saying, I'm just saying. So you've spent quite a bit of time watching the opponents of the rest of the teams in the Top 25? So my hope was I'll fated. Got it. As is mine that you would answer a direct question.

Not sure if you mean to-date or for the year but so far (according to Sagarin) aTm, Baylor, Michigan St., Notre Dame, Stanford, Mississippi St. and Arizona St. all have easier schedules and Wisconsin and Ohio St. aren't ahead of us by much. How has MSU (Oregon), Stanford (USC), and Mississippi St (LSU) possibly have easier schedules than us? That's one thing I don't like about Sagarin, sometimes the stuff he presents is strange. Earlier this year after Rutgers beat Washington State on the road, he still had Washington State ranked much higher than Rutgers... Because MSU's other three opponents are 100+ and two of them are 190+. Stanford's other two opponents are 130+. Miss St.'s other three opponents are all 110+. Our worst opponent is Florida Atlantic at 115, the other two are Top 100. I get that, but the reality is if we played the 'easier' schedules of most of those teams (like MSU), we'd have 1 loss. But you didn't ask how we'd do against their schedule. You asked how theirs were worse than ours. I simply answered your question.

Is there really a difference between 80+ and 190+ at this level? Nebraska should beat either by a landslide. However, there is a HUGE difference between 5ish and 30 - which is what you'd be comparing when looking at MSU (Oregon), Stanford (USC), and Mississippi St (LSU). Our single game (since let's be honest, that's all that matters) was against Miami. Theirs were against what at the time looked to be top 10 teams. I'd take our schedule any day of the week. It's basically an average - or at least I'm assuming it is something similar to an average; I don't know what his formula is. Those teams have played one team better than any team we've played but the rest of their schedule is teams worse that we've played. Thus, overall, our strength-of-schedule would be expected to be similar but not surprising if ours is slightly better.

Probably the first week in a few that he doesn't move up a spot. But .... he did go for 200+ vs. Illinois last year so .....

Doubt it. Not a lot of mid-season firings unless it's a personal conduct issue.

Hope it's a great one!

Unless he gets things corrected, I don't see SF making the playoffs anyway. Agreed. And if they don't make the playoffs, it won't surprise me at all if he has a different job next year.

Not sure Harbaugh is all that far-fetched. Rumor is he doesn't get along with their GM at all and possibly losing the players as well. He could come back "home" and have basically total control over the entire program. Biggest hangup is timing. Last regular season game is December 28 which is later than Michigan would like but not terrible. But if they make the playoffs that's getting very late for a college to get a guy hired.

And who is paying that few more cents? And what does that do to the money they have to spend other places?

Am I missing it or is that a totally one-sided analysis? That is, did they focus totally on where the money would go any ignore where it would come from?
