I didn't think I could drink anymore koolaid but this did it. This pick means more than most because he actually played us during our best stretch. Quote Link to comment

That's heartening to hear because Urban knows football but it's also suspicious and you have to wonder what he's up to since it's Urban Meyer. 2 3 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Not sure this really counts as a "pundit" but 247 used ESPN FPI ratings to predict Nebraska's record. They have us at 10-2. The two teams that they have us at less than 50% likely to win are Ohio State (42.2%) and ...... Minnesota (39.5%) Quote Link to comment

I can only assume it's the home field thing, but Minnesota can't give away tickets at the moment. Despite some real reasons for excitement, the overall fan buy in is just dead at the moment. If they start winning that could change, but any kind of home field advantage for Minnesota (outside of not needing to travel) is a joke. Quote Link to comment

I thought the same thing, but isn't FPI at this point largely based on returning production? Nebraska lost a lot in the eyes of computers with Ziggy and Stanley leaving and little production returning behind them. Minnesota returns a ton of production from last year, so computers love that about them. Don't know the ins and outs, but that's my guess. Quote Link to comment

I would guess the numbers show them pretty similar to us - made good strides as the season went along so projecting in the right direction. But it's still a bit surprising that they'd be a lower percentage for us than Ohio State - even with the home-field. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 If the best ex-coach in the Big 10 thinks Nebraska's defense will be difficult to prepare for, then I'm spiking that Kool-Aid straight into my vein. 2 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 @Guy Chamberlin Yeah, I just wanna know what he actually said, instead of what somebody on Twitter said he said. 1 Quote Link to comment

Been trying to find a clip, but happened to catch it on FS1. It was part of a rapid fire question segment and Meyers question was who is the team to beat in the Big 10 West. He said I'm going with Nebraska, the schemes on both offense and defense are really tough to prepare for in a week's time. Also said he's a big fan of Adrian and he'll have a big season. It was part of the Fox College Football Preview Show and their 2 minute drill segment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 https://247sports.com/college/nebraska/Article/Nebraska-football-Mike-Schaefer-gives-a-game-by-game-prediction-of-Nebraskas-2019-season-134893204/ I think most people would be pretty happy with the season playing out like this and it seems realistic. It'd leave a bad taste in your mouth about what could have been though, dropping a game to Maryland that could have sent us to Indy! Quote Link to comment
