Bad loss to lose the series. Really need to make the most of the games against Kansas, Kansas State, and Creighton remaining.

Great win! Now to take the series tomorrow. I don't know how many losses in Big Ten play they can have and still be a regional candidate. Beating Kansas, Kansas State, and Creighton might cover up a couple.

We hope. Kendall said last week that UGA and NU were next in line but UGA also swept a better team in Alabama. I'd like to think they both get in though.

All the minor bowls are ESPN for inventory

Thankfully they still have a home tilt remaining against KSU

Beat a quality Kansas State team and not trip over Northwestern and I think the 'Huskers are ranked next week. It would be great to see.

I also suppose that age plays a role in how people feel about Oklahoma. If you are under 40, you probably don't care as much.

Which is why I want them to play. Two big and storied programs with outstanding fans. A new venue to travel to.

I wonder if USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon change the Big Ten's perspective on baseball? USC is college baseball royalty, I can't imagine they will be quiet on that front.

A lot of discussion about Matt Rhule signaling about making the non-conference schedule more manageable with the four new additions from the Pac-12. Unless you live in the area; I don't think most people care about Cincy, Arizona, or Okie State. They can switch out those games for Mepos Tech, Zamunda University, and Melmac College. The big games to me are Tennessee and Oklahoma. The Tennessee series has already been moved before for Bristol but I believe that fans would love a visit to Knoxville and the Rocky Top faithful would travel well to Lincoln. Oklahoma doesn't need explained. It's throwing a bone to tradition and rich history in a sport that has increasingly less of it as the years go by. Hopefully more great stories from Tom Osborne and Barry Switzer while they are still with us. Those are the two valuable series I would like for Nebraska to honor. If the Tennessee games were switched it would have been an opportunity to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the '97 team in Lincoln since Michigan isn't on the schedule to troll. Whether or not that would be enough time to bury the hatchet with Scott Frost I suppose is TBD.

The Phoenix bowl tie-in would have Nebraska fans there in droves. Then again it's been so long that most any option would be appealing. Even if it's Shreveport against Army.

This seems accurate. Both Mississippi State and Nebraska struggle to win on the road.

I don't care about the seed, it's just getting the opportunity. Quite frankly I would embrace the challenge against a CBB blue blood like Kentucky. Nebraska basketball doesn't get opportunities like that often. Can you imagine if Keisei got hot in front of a national audience for that game? Pandemonium around the country and good vibes for Nebrasketball.

I thought the Toilet Bowl was 1989 Kansas vs. Kansas State?

Mississippi State in the first round would be appropriate as 11 seeds. Both teams struggle to beat anyone on the road.

Yeah I wonder if this to further decide the haves and have nots within the two conferences as well. Nebraska better start winning in football and make the tournament in basketball. Volleyball is a helpful bonus.

Yep, it's depth and big lineman as part of that. No 275 lb. Pac-12 DL is going to cut it. Teams get beat up in league play in the Big Ten and SEC. We talk about Frost and Bo but I remember the chatter when Penn State joined they were going to dominate as well. None of it happened. I would say Oregon is the best prepared of the 4 but there will be some rough spots. I see Oregon losing in Madison, Wisconsin in November because of the grind. USC will have some difficulties even with the talent they have and Washington, UCLA will be rebuilding years for sure.

Keisei Tominaga not getting the NCAA stage in his time here would make me sad. I don't care if it's the play-in game in Dayton. It would be an opportunity. That also begs the question, if the 'Huskers would win the play-in game, would that count as an NCAA win and the P5 outpost without a NCAA tourney win would be no more?

I will predict 8-4. Just a few more predictions and we will really have something next season.

It didn't seem to hurt Pete Carroll much.

I am excited for Jim Harbaugh vs. Sean Payton. It's going to be the Petty Bowl twice a season and great theater from two good coaches.

Nice to get a win but the team was clobbered on the glass, mind numbing turnovers, and it was at home so they haven't won on the road. Big take is they are the better team that beat Purdue.

Yep, Kliff Kingsbury bought a 1-way ticket to Thailand to...ummm....release some stress after he was let go by Arizona.
