over/under 7 wins


Recommended Posts


Right at 7

 

push.

 

I am glad that so many among us have a realistic notion of NU football for next season. It seemed at first that much of the overly rosey, very positive, and frankly unrealistic talk of 9 or 10 wins has subsided. This is good. A more realistic view of say 7 wins is a more healthy mindset to have going in and is more fair to the players and coaches.

If I were a betting person (I'm not), I'd say this is a push - it seems to be the highest probability.

 

I'd stay away from it.

 

Here's my view on the chances of a certain record:

 

5-7 or worse: 5%

6-6: 10%

7-5: 40%

8-4: 30%

9-3: 10%

10-2 or better: 5%

 

 

nice manner of conveying your thoughts. Stealing from this, I'd say:

 

5-7 or worse: 15%

6-6: 25%

7-5:: 35%

8-4:: 15%

9-3: 7%

10-2 or better: 3%

I'd say over and NU goes 8-4 this year. Now if i were to put a substantial amount of money down on this bet, it would surely be under and a disappointing season. I NEVER BET ON NEBRASKA SPORTS... but I'll bet against them ... meaning I'll gladly pay 20 or 40 bucks to see NU win ... reverse psychology baby

This post would be better if it included a histogram, the variance and the standard deviation.

Is 9 or 10 wins unrealistic? How many people thought KU would win all but 1 game last year? It seems unrealistic, but then again that's why the games are played. If we do happen to win 9 or 10 games, I think it will make BC and crew look even more incompetent than how they are currently viewed by us the fans. After the way CU played 2 years ago, who thought they'd go bowling last year?

 

My thoughts about the 08 season are this: 6 wins or fewer will be a disappointing season. 7 wins will be viewed as average. 8+ wins will be considered a good to great season.
