Game-by-Game W-L Predictions

[GSG]

Fresno State — WIN

Wyoming — WIN

Oregon — TOSS UP

Northwestern — TOSS UP

Illinois — WIN

Indiana — TOSS UP

Purdue — WIN

Wisconsin — TOSS UP

Ohio State — LOSS

Minnesota — WIN

Maryland — WIN

Iowa — TOSS UP

6 wins, 5 toss ups, 1 loss

 

So it could be 6-6 up to 11-1, but I think that it's more likely 8-4 or 9-3.

Fresno W (high school team)

Wyoming W (div 2 high school team)

Oregon L

@ Northwestern L

Illinois W (Jesus if we lose this one)

@ Indiana W (must win)

Purdue W (better win this)

@ Wisconsin L (if we dont lose by 50 I will be happy)

@ tOSU L (might as well take this as a bye week and let the walk ons and band member play)

Minnesota W (late in season favors minny if cold)

Maryland W (if we lose my head exploding device will implode)

@ Iowa W (after a good season Iowa is horrible - after a horrible season they are Iowa 'good')

guess I am drinking the kool aid with 8 wins - sad to think that predicting 8 wins regular season, is drinking the kool aid now. Cannot predict a bowl yet. Also knowing Riley and crew we could drop any of these including Wyoming.

Worst case I see is 7-5 and best is 10-2.

Purdue W

@ tOSU L

Minnesota W

Maryland W

@ Iowa W (L)

As long as Tommy isn't chucking the ball down field, that is what I see. If he is chucking it, five losses.

 

In other words, 5 losses! Tommy is not going to suddenly figure it out. Sigh....next up?

 

Our depth at QB is not great. One of our major flaws - with Tommy Gun running more this season I could see him injured at NW, if not earlier - NW plays rough like BYU rough.

I was thinking more like sour grapes....

Could be Bob Stoops thing ...... in the first season under OU HC, 6W-5L record. The second season, national champs (undefeated). MR=Stoops ???

+1 for the cool graph and brave optimism

Final Summary of votes:

23 Votes cast

8W, 3T, 1L

prediction of 8-4 to 11-1 season (average 9.5 wins)

 

not a great sample size, but I think this was a decent representation of the board's optimism in general.

 

Here's a different way to represent confidence in winning with a percent. (Kind of like Alwayshusking's picks that we made fun of) I gave half of the "toss-up" votes to the win total and divided by 23.

 

Fresno State: 100% confidence (W)

Wyoming: 100% confidence (W)

Oregon: 48% confidence (T)

Northwestern: 63% confidence (W)

Illinois: 100% confidence (W)

Indiana: 89% confidence (W)

Purdue: 100% confidence (W)

Wisconsin 50% confidence (T)

Ohio State: 13% confidence (L)

Minnesota 87% confidence (W)

Maryland: 100% confidence (W)

Iowa: 59% confidence (T)

How'd you all do in this?

[ADS]

Fresno - Win by a good margin.

Wyoming - Win but it's an interesting first half.

Oregon - Win but we have to make a comeback after not being ready for their offense in the first half.

@NW- Toss up. Has been ever since Nebraska joined the Big Ten.

Illinois - Win but it's close.

@IU - Win but it's close.

Purdue - Win.

@Wisconsin - Loss. They've had our number.

@Ohio State - Loss.

Minnesota - Win its a lower scoring slug fest.

Maryland - Win but it's close

@Iowa - Toss up but I see a L.

Not bad

[Redux]

 

Fresno - Win by a score of roughly 49-22

Wyoming - Win but they make a late push

Oregon - Win on the final drive 28-26

@NW - Win, and big. Like 52-13 big

Illinois - Win a lazy game by 20 unimpressively

@IU - Our defense comes out lazy and we have to explode in the 4th to win an early shootout

Purdue - Shutout, 40-0

@Wisconsin - Win, they come out beaten up and we take an early lead and win 38-20

@Ohio State - Loss, but it's only by 9 points

Minnesota - Win, an early scare gets stuffed by the D

Maryland - Win an easy game, 39-10

@Iowa - Win, like we did the first couple times we played em

*note: ^ that is best case scenario. I think we go 9-3 on the year.

 

 

I honestly laughed out loud. Why do people think we do anything better than .500?

Hey Waldo, how do ya like them apples?

[Roll Skers]

Here is what im thinking

 

Fresno- W

Wyoming- W

Oregon- W, -and they end up derailing and then beating #12 Utah

Nw- W and 2 fumbles at the goal line

Illinios- W

Indiana- W

Purdue- W

Wisconsin- L in overtime

Ohio- L in blowout fashion

Minnesota- Ugly W

Maryland- Fyfe wins 28-7

Iowa- Tossup but we win

Outback Bowl vs LSU- Win 31-20

[funhusker]

Fresno - Win (Should be comfortably, but wouldn't be surprised it the first game of the year is a little shaky)

Wyoming - Win

Oregon - Toss-up (I think the Huskers lose, but there is a real chance they don't. The hype and home stadium make it a toss up)

@NW - Toss-up

Illinois - Win

@IU - Toss-up

Purdue - Win

@Wisconsin - Toss-up

@Ohio State - Loss

Minnesota - Win

Maryland - Win

@Iowa - Loss

 

6 "wins"

2 "losses"

4 "toss-ups" (Oregon is likely loss, Wisconsin is likely loss, I"m not even very comfortable with NW as a toss-up)

 

If I put a number out, I'd say 7-5 is likely. 8-4 best case, 5-7 worst case.

I was also wrong about my Cowboys. I like being wrong....
