I don’t want to depend on other teams to make Nebraska look better. I want Nebraska to do that on our own. 5 minutes ago, BigRedBuster said: I would prefer teams that we played to do well.

The better they play, the more likely better recruits go to those teams and not Nebraska. 2 Quote Link to comment

Nothing you will say will convince me otherwise. If you play better opponents then you are better than someone with the same record against a worse schedule plain and simple. 12 minutes ago, ColoradoHusk said: I don’t want to depend on other teams to make Nebraska look better.

We aren't depending on anyone. It isn't about depending on someone. It makes us look better if we play in the best conference plain and simple. 13-0 against a great schedule is better than 13-0 against cupcakes. A better conference helps you out no matter how good you are. 3 3 Quote Link to comment

So, you would prefer everyone on our schedule to go 0-12. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Recruits want to play in competitive conferences. If your conference sucks that hurts your recruiting as well 2 Quote Link to comment

Cdog923 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Also, go Memphis. Quote Link to comment

So yes, I want that. Then when we play an undefeated team who actually had some competition we get crushed. Sounds nice. I'd rather go undefeated against a really good schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'd rather go undefeated against a really good schedule. Causation =/= correlation at all in this little scenario. If Nebraska is good enough to go undefeated in the Big Ten, they're good enough to go toe to toe with anyone in the country; whether the conference does well in their bowl games has absolutely nothing to do with that scenario, though. 1 Quote Link to comment
