husker B-rent Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 correct. but dont tell anyone that, it might ruin their "underdog feeling". Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I don't think this game is un-winnable, but you definitely have to give credit to Wisconsin for beating the teams they should beat and looking good while doing it. We've beat the teams we should beat and haven't looked as good. But by no means does this mean we can't beat Wisconsin. I still think Nebraska loses, but we've played a tougher non-con thus far.

HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Nebraska's wins by the numbers: UTC Scoring Offense: Scoring Defense: Fresno St Scoring Offense: 54th Scoring Defense: T-92nd Washington Scoring Offense: T-40th Scoring Defense: 104th Wyoming Scoring Offense: T-58th Scoring Defense: T-75th I'm not sure we've played a much stronger non-con schedule Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I hate the transitive property, but . . . NU's quality win so far was against Washington - whose quality win was against a respected Cal Wisc quality win so far was Northern Ill-annoy - whose quality win was against . . . . Army! AND NIU LOST to KU Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'm not sure we've played a much stronger non-con schedule It's still early so the numbers aren't that compelling yet, but according to Sagarin we've played the 69th toughest schedule so far, while Wisconsin's SOS is 148.

Stumpy1 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'm not sure we've played a much stronger non-con schedule It's still early so the numbers aren't that compelling yet, but according to Sagarin we've played the 69th toughest schedule so far, while Wisconsin's SOS is 148. And the average of the offense and defense of each team that Neb. and Wiscy have played will back this up. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 And the average defensive rankings for Nebraska and Wisconsin also back up the current sos Quote Link to comment

Scarlet Overkill Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'm not sure we've played a much stronger non-con schedule It's still early so the numbers aren't that compelling yet, but according to Sagarin we've played the 69th toughest schedule so far, while Wisconsin's SOS is 148. and using Sagarin's predictor, we're roughly a 10 point underdog.

We've beat the teams we should beat and haven't looked as good. But by no means does this mean we can't beat Wisconsin. I still think Nebraska loses, but we've played a tougher non-con thus far. But don't you think it's safe to say that Bo and Carl have been very experimental with their combinations of players on the defensive side. I think this itself has led to the games seeming close, I think Bo and Carl were confident enouph that they could do this and still easily win their first four games. Just seems like we would dial it up, especially on O and score pretty easily when we needed to. See the second half of the Fresno St. game and the same with Washington. We basically ran the ball at will when we needed to and weren't testing things out. Tenn Chat and Wyoming never had a chance and you saw all kind of crazy combinations of players on D.

Last time I checked, there were 120 D1-A teams, so, for what it's worth, there is an ENTIRE DIVISION of college football that has played a tougher schedule than them. Quote Link to comment

Some IAA teams are ranked higher than IA teams. So, this prompted me to sort Sagarin's schedule ranking just by IA teams, and you weren't far off with your statement -- Wisconsin has played the 113th weakest schedule out of 120 D1 teams. Purdue has played the weakest. FTR, Nebraska listed as 62nd of 120. Quote Link to comment
