Nebraska Kansas State Game Moved

[bball_backer]

The only negative I see is that it puts us at a preparation disadvantage against Texas, as they have the week of Oct 9th off.

 

Positives:

A nationally televised game that otherwise might have been on FSN or even PPV. Exposure is always good. And we should be able to handle the cats.

It does spread out the week off , with 5 days extra for KSU and 2 for Texas. I've always thought that was maybe better than just a full week off. The break is at a good time of year, too. Regroup a bit after the nonconference games, fine-tune and even implement systemic changes that might have become necessary as the season has played out.

And, a big positive for me, personally, is that it frees up my viewing schedule on Saturday to watch and record more games without having to account for the Huskers. I'll already be basking in the glow of another big win on national TV.

 

I found the KSU scheduling goals interesting. Especially this one:

2) to have at least 11 FBS (formerly known as I-A) opponents each season;

 

Recall that in 2009 they had 2 FCS games, and it kept them out of a bowl. Even granny Snyder has figured out that that is not a good thing.

 

There is absolutely no way this would have been a PPV game. Assuming NU hasn't tripped up big time, there's a great chance they are top 10 and if KSU is undefeated (they play a decent non-con) this game would have had a legit shot at at least abc regional coverage, depending of course on situation and other teams playing that day

and if KSU is undefeated

 

THATS A BIG IF! They have to play at least two non-conference schools that aren't Division II programs before they play us. That is a big chore for K-State!! One of those schools doesn't completely suck!! Couple that with a scrappy Iowa State game, I'll predict the following for K-State coming into the Nebraska game.

 

Sep 04 UCLA LOSS

 

Sep 11 Missouri State WIN

 

Sep 18 Iowa State LOSS

 

Sep 25 Central Florida WIN 2/OT

 

2-2

Well, I have to take a day off to see it, but that's not necessarily a bad thing...
