A drubbing at Ohio state the following week makes a lot more sense as we would be approaching top 10 and ready for the reality check. 2 Quote Link to comment

If we are 7-0 going into OSU...then get beat, I don't think we lose to UCLA or Iowa. I'm going to feel so much better about this season if our QB and offense show they are better than last year in the first few games. 1 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Yes, win the games we should (based on talent and all things Nebraska) to start the season and I think we have a shot at not only a bowl but a respectable bowl game. Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I have us at 8-4. Although I thought we'd only win 2 games this last season, so what do I know. 1 Quote Link to comment

We weren't that far off from winning 2 games last year. We also weren't far off from winning 8. So the margin of error and success fits right in there! 1 Quote Link to comment
Head Coach Scott Frost Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I just can't believe 6-0. I like our chances individually in all of them, but we haven't strung four wins in a row together in the past 5 years. No way 6. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

A bowl game by itself is a huge stepping stone for a team that hasn't been there since 2016 . Getting it in exactly the first six games and by the way getting it while we are currently on a four game losing streak would be unbelievable. 2 Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I think opening the season not playing an in conference foe will help a lot. Let the players get the kinks out. "Shouldn't" have to worry about being out coached with the talent gap. Then play a 'real" team in Colorado at home. Win that one and you are set up nicely for a win streak. Although if they win the first 3 I could definitely see them dropping a head scratcher to Illinois. 1 Quote Link to comment

TGHusker Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 This guy is predicting the 2024 playoff: He has Oregon winning the B1G, Georgia the SEC, Utah the Big 12, Clemson the ACC, Boise State - Mtn West Won't he be surprise when Nebraska gains the 4th B1G spot shoving KSU out of contention. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/predicting-the-12-team-playoff-bracket-2024-college-football/ar-BB1h8cp3?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=800eec1401c241cb9f6281282ecfd83e&ei=48 Final Projected Seeding Georgia Oregon Texas Utah Clemson Alabama Ohio State Ole Miss Notre Dame Michigan Kansas State Boise State 1 Quote Link to comment

This has been a trend the last couple years, coupled with a few teams coming out of their byes when we played the week prior. Quote Link to comment
