Congratulations Huskers - The 2010 North Champs

[bvhusker89]

Not counting my chickens before they come home to roost...or some such stupid saying like that...but it's pretty obvious that with the returning players and the favorable schedule the Huskers have coming up in 2010, they should be a shoe-in to dominate the B-12 North in 2010...here's how I think it will all play out.

 

Nebraska - I think I see an 11-1 season coming up in 2010. The Huskers should destroy their non-con opponents and then go on to toy with a regular schedule that features what is called the "easy" trip though the Big-12 South. The only real challenge I see in 2010 are the back-to-back OK State and Texas games. One of those two games will probably end up being the only blemish on the Husker 2010 record. The Huskers should be able to toy with the division rivals along with A&M.

 

Missouri - I believe Missouri will be the runner up in the North at 7-5. The easiest non-conference schedule in the North should give them four wins to start the season after which they should be able to power by Colorado, ISU and Kansas. A&M is also a possibility. Don't think they have enough in the tank to get by Oklahoma, Texas Tech or Nebraska and think KSU will take them.

 

Kansas State - I forsee a 6-6 record for the Wildcats. Someone in their scheduling department messed up and put a couple of quality opponents into their non-conference schedule (UCLA and Central Florida). During the regular season, KSU plays enough patsies (ISU, KU, Baylor and CU) and has enough returning talent to be able to come out of the year with at least bowl eligiblity.

 

Kansas - Turner should be able to come out of the year with a 5-7 record and something to build on. Kansas finally added a couple of decent teams to their non-conference schedule with Georgia Tech and Southern Miss, which will hurt but they also have the easier southern division trip through the Big12 featuring Baylor, A&M, and OK State. Kansas should be able to dispatch Iowa State, Colorado and Baylor along with non-conference puffs North Dakota State and New Mexico State

 

Iowa State - The Clones are doomed to, at best, a 3-9 season. After a rousing bowl season in 2009, it's back to the cellar. Three of their first four games are against 2009 bowl participants and they play 8 bowl participants total. Who was the moron that scheduled Northern Illinois, Iowa, Utah and Texas Tech all in the first five games with just UNI (definately not a team to screw with) as the only break in there? Cyclone opponents in 2010 had a combined record of 97-53 with only two (KU and CU) finishing with a losing record. Gonna be a long year for the Clones...

 

Colorado - The Buffs are also in for a long year and, along with the Cyclones, should be kicked to a 3-9 record at best. They have California and Georgia in their non-conference schedule, along with always tough Colorado State. They also have Oklahoma and Texas Tech from the South to contend with. Happpily for the Buffs, they have Hawaii, Baylor and possibly ISU to kick around. After those three, wins look to be few and far between.

 

So there you go. Huskers will be the North champs in 2010. You heard it here first!

 

 

 

 

holy crap! who ever does ISU football scheduling needs a

 

Not to mention that the big 12 screwed isu over in there big 12 schedule. They play both oklahoma, and texas and if you thought that was bad enough they play them in back to back weeks both on the road.
