ScottyIce Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Weirdest thing I've ever read. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Seems like they determine by FPI Rank and chance of winning % So after an early season loss to Oregon, the Huskers will go 1-6 down the stretch. You would think Banker was still here and Ryker was the projected starter. No offense to Fyfe, but that's how it seems. 1 Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 14% chance to beat Oregon? (+10?) 17% chance to beat Wisconsin? (+9?) 5% chance to beat Ohio State. (+24?) 37% chance to beat Northwestern? (+4?) 40% chance to beat Minnesota? (+3?) 42% chance to beat Iowa? (+3?) I mean, if there were a way to theoretically bet on those lines, I would take the overs on all. EDIT: Makes me think, what are the lines going to be for those games then? ( edited part ) I'm putting money on all of those lines if they were to hold true. I might add I'm getting rich also 1 Quote Link to comment

RedDenver Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 That's one of the stupidest ways of predicting a season. Basically Nebraska has an FPI rank of 58, so the "prediction" is that the Huskers beat every team ranked worse and lose to every team ranked better. 3 Quote Link to comment

Making Chimichangas Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Nebraska could go 5-7 in 2017. Also, aliens could invade Earth, Independence Day style, in 2017. Both seem equally probable. 1 Quote Link to comment

In Lincoln?!? Fortunately HB has an emoti for this type of tripe: Well Northwestern has beaten Nebraska in Lincoln once before. Just saying. I think ESPN has been predicting Nebraska to go 5-7 or 4-8 for the last 10 years at least. At some point, they'll be exactly like a broken clock and just happen to be coincidentally right.

StPaulHusker Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 If the Huskers go 5-7 and Trump is still president, this board will implode. 3 Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Its all based on their FPI rankings which places tons of ephasis on returning starters, especially QB's, and rectuiting rankings. It is basically trying to predict how you are going to do off of last years results. Which can be an indicator, but not always a great one. Quote Link to comment

StPaulHusker Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 They are suggesting that any game we "could" lose, we will. Quote Link to comment
