Count 'Bility Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 4 losses. Bo keeps his job. The board falls into a deeper abyss a year from now. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I am going to give credit to Excel (Bucky) for this prediction, as it was his equation that I used to calculate a win-lose record.In the end, I got a 11-1 regular schedule record (with the only lose coming to Northwestern) and a B1G CC Win vs either Ohio St or Michigan St. Looks like the games at Fresno St and Iowa are close. Here's my work. Excel can let us know if I misread his equation. Win = >50, Lose = <50.Here is where I got my returning starters' data (A1 and B1), http://www.collegefootballuniverseblog.com/1/post/2013/04/college-football-returning-starters-2013.htmlHere is where I got my winning record stats (A2-4 and B2-4), http://football.stassen.com/records/h-win-pct.htmlHere is Excel's equation, Personally, I think we should be a little more leery about the Miami, Michigan St, and Wisconsin games, but the math is what it is. 3 Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 If we stay relatively healthy, I don't see anyone we can't beat. If we start piling up injuries, some of them can turn into losses. Since I tend to be optimistic I will go with 12-0 regular season. 2 Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 If we stay relatively healthy, I don't see anyone we can't beat. If we start piling up injuries, some of them can turn into losses. Since I tend to be optimistic I will go with 12-0 regular season. This is basically how I feel. I don't see any more than 2 loses in the regular season, I don't know to which teams but no more than 2. Every team that NU will play has there own issues, not one team looks like it has no weakness on paper. The only advantage I give MSU and Wisky is the home field at this point I will need to watch them play to give them anymore advantages. MSU only returns 5 starters on defense and loses 3 starters on the o-line that were 3 year starters I believe. They do have quite a big of skill coming back on the offensive side though. Wisky loses a lot on defense and offense and I think we will see them trying to transition into more of a spread team like Anderson prefers. There may be some growing pains. They do have a great running game though. Neither one of these teams has better athletes then Nebraska has. Miami may actually have better talent on paper than Nebraska, but it is always a task to see if they want to play together as a team. Quote Link to comment

Saunders Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 To the people picking us to go undefeated, are you being honest, are you drunk, or just blind optimism? ....are you drunk, or just blind optimism or Bo-lovers? Possibly amnesia? 2008 - 4 losses, 2009 - 4 losses, 2010 - 4 losses, 2011 - 4 losses, 2012 - 4 losses, 2013 - 4 losses, 2014 - 4 losses? Maybe, just maybe.... they're fans. Quote Link to comment

Saunders Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm surprised with the Miami losses. They don't even have a QB an their defense was horrible last year. On top of that we have them at home in prime time where we have a very good record. I guess if winning by 2 TDs is considered a loss than I agree. It's just tough to guess at this point. But we're 2-4 in our "marquee" non conference games since Bo joined with the two wins being against Washington. In my eyes, we don't really have a qb any more than they do. Maybe Armstrong will have a Stave year where he looks loads better, who knows. But Miami is a hotbed or talent and I won't underestimate them or getting talent on the field. The other losses are teams we've traditionally struggled against coming into the B1G (Mich St. is just gonna have a good D again, not that we struggle), and Minnesota is the random team you pull out of a hat as our boneheaded loss to a team we shouldn't lose to but do. Last year we had two with Iowa and Nearly with Wyo but I think we keep it to one this year. Miami is much closer to Washington than either of the UCLA or VT teams. Quote Link to comment

In fact, I would not have assumed the three games to worry about would be Northwestern, Fresno St, and Iowa, or at least not as much as Miami, Michigan St, and Wisconsin. I am game for you suggestion though. What criteria would you suggest necessary in a prediction equation? Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 I predict you will have a smaller amount of responses because nobody can even read the thread title due to your excessive use of symbols. What, you got something against symbols or something? Stop being a symbolphobe. Quote Link to comment
