Big 10 only Schedule = Winning Season Yes or No

[Guy Chamberlin]

If the Huskers can stay healthy while other teams rack up COVID cases, we could score some pretty sweet forfeits.

09/05    @ Rutgers    (Win)
09/12    Illinois    (Win) 
09/19    Wisconsin    (Toss up--55% Wisconsin)
09/26    @ Iowa    (Toss up--65% Nebraska)
10/03    Minnesota    (Win)
10/10    @ Ohio St.    (Loss)
10/24    @ Northwestern    (Win--it's our annual migration game)
10/31    Penn St.    (Loss)
11/14    @ Purdue    (Win)
11/21    Michigan St. (Win)

 

I'm sorry, but I just don't see us going 4-6. We had Wisky on the ropes with what was a decidedly inferior team last year. Same with Iowa, plus we get Iowa early before they can get their defense and offense figured out. 

 

Minnesota was a damn fluke last year, and I don't see that happening in Lincoln. Northwestern will be improved but not *THAT* improved, and Nebraska fans will fill that stadium out (to 50% capacity most likely). Purdue should be a win, though they may be a tough out late in the season. And Michigan State has all the hallmarks of being a train wreck this year.

Here is how we get to six wins in a 10 game BIG 10 season.  I show 7 wins below, so opportunity to mess up on one and still get to 6.

Purdue - W

Northwestern  - W - game is at NW - seems like we win the away games wt them.

Illinois  W

Rutgers   W

OSU     L

PSU     L

Iowa    W   - that team is in disarray now and we should have won last year

Wisc     L    or toss up  - but it is at Wisc so most likely a loss

Minny  W    - one year wonder  ends   Game in Lincoln

Other cross over game has yet to be picked

MSU?   W   - Some say likely cross over game -  another team in disarray  

 

 

Just a small point of order--the Wisky game is in Lincoln. Iowa is away. I think this helps us out IMO.

That is when being in a low population state may help   - maybe it will get us in the top 10 ranking!!

Doubt teams forfeit due to virus restrictions.  Just a cancel.
