POLL 2018 Season Predictions

[Nebfanatic]

I wouldn't be so quick to discount Michigan. Year 4 at Stanford things really clicked under Harbaugh. Michigan is a dark horse team in the east IMO

[Hooked on Huskers]

09/01    Akron    W
09/08    Colorado    W
09/15    Troy    W* ..... better than you think; #27 Coaches Poll.  Beat LSU and almost beat Clemson.
09/22    @ Michigan    L*
09/29    Purdue    W
10/06    @ Wisconsin    L* (EDIT: correction)
10/13    @ Northwestern    W ..... sorry Friz, back to earth
10/20    Minnesota    W

10/27    bye week
11/03    @ Ohio St.    L
11/10    Illinois    W
11/17    Michigan St.    W  .... at home; distraction (MSU scandal)
11/23    @ Iowa    W  .... I had never lose against Birds !

12/1      No CCG

 

asterisk (Troy, Blue, Wiskey) = could see go either way.

 

Bowl: W, thus 10W-3L

boo boo ..... Wisconsin, LOSE

[huskered17]

Thinking with my heart 9-3. With my head 8-4;

I went 9-3

 

GBR!!!

[MichiganDad3]

I think the chart for question 2 (Which games will the Huskers win in 2018?) is wrong. Only 12% of us think we will beat Akron?

Nice catch. They're all wrong. I'm guessing it's an error in the coding of the software for the board. If you add up the % for all of the games in #2 it = 100%, but these were all optional boxes you could check. Akron should be 81/83 = 97.6%. Michigan should be 12/83 = 14.5%. Etc.

 

But the bars sizes still show the relative # of people who voted for each win.

Yeah, it's a quirk in how it's calculating the percentage.  It's showing the percentage of total votes cast, not the percentage of voters that picked that option.  It's always been messed up for multiple-answer questions.

 

I suppose the way it is working now is appropriate in some context.  

 

Or maybe they just don't have a programming who understands statistics.

Going with 9-3. Think we drop will drop close ones to Michigan and Wisc. OSU handles us. Win the rest. 

 

Obviously I think a ton of these games could go either way but I like our chances in most of em.

Wow did Vampire Dork and Riley ever run this program into the ground.

09/01    Akron   W
09/08    Colorado  W
09/15    Troy   W
09/22    @ Michigan    L
09/29    Purdue    W
10/06    @ Wisconsin   L
10/13    @ Northwestern   L (Could go either way. :shrug:)
10/20    Minnesota   W

10/27    bye week
11/03    @ Ohio St.   L
11/10    Illinois   W
11/17    Michigan St.   L
11/23    @ Iowa    L  (This might end up being a tight game. Even though Iowa will likely be better than last season)

 

6-6.  And some Husker fans will begin to grumble even though we have a much tougher schedule this year than last.

Might have to see if I can recoup some of the money they cost me last year.....
