Poll - How many games will we win Regular Season & Bowl. NC Playoff Poll later! :>)

[RedDenver]

I voted 10 wins:

Northwestern - Win
North Dakota - Win
Georgia Southern - Win
Oklahoma - Win
Indiana - Win
Rutgers - Win
Purdue - loss
Illinois - Win
Minnesota - loss
Michigan - loss
Wisconsin - Win
Iowa - Win

Bowl Game - Win

 

I think we'll lose at Mich and then lose 2 out of Oklahoma, Purdue, Minnesota, Wisconsin

[LumberJackSker]

I voted 6 but i have no idea. Nothing between 4 to 8 wins would surprise me. Frost will be back with 5 or more wins.

I can't vote in this poll because there's no 14-0

I don't know why everyone is so quick to write off OK as a loss. We should have a more sound team, with a better QB, at home. If we can win our first 3 (which gosh darn it we should) then I like our odds. 

 

They are much deeper than we are. That, plus the discrepancy in talent level, gives them an edge that will be tough to overcome. I still see our OL being our Achilles heel, and I think the defense takes a step backwards this year.

The thing that will make the OU game tougher, in my opinion, is that we played them so tough last year.  It's possible some of the players took us lightly and the game was close because of it.

 

They might not have that attitude this year.  Although, it is a home game for us...so that should help.

OU is going through changes, so it does add a little hope for a Husker upset.

 

However, in last year's game, OU was held to around 8 drives on offense, and that did play a part (keeping it close).  

 

But mostly, I give them props and more respect because they have gone 78-14 during the last 7 years.  That is incredible.  Only 11 of those losses during regular season in 7 years.  

 

It's going to be tough, but I agree not impossible. This would be the year to beat them.  I can hardly wait for this game and Michigan.

7-5 with loses to OU, Purdue, Minny, UM and Wisky.  Frost will be retained because a win over Iowa will be the difference.  

 

OU -- we haven't beaten a team clearly "more talented" than us for a long while

Purdue -- Brohm has our number, they will be good and it's in West Lafayette

Minny -- Fleck knows how to play Nebraska better than anyone

UM -- We're just not getting out of the Big House with a W.  We're not deep enough for a late season task like that.

Wisky -- Our front 7 will be pretty beat up by then and will struggle to stop the run against that giant line and those backs.

 

I doubt anyone blows us out, though.  Maybe UM if we're thin with injuries in key spots.

I agree with this more than anything. They are also getting their OC back that was there Morgan's freshman year when he had a pretty good year.

I save the "Playoff Poll" for when we are named as one of the 4 teams selected for the playoffs in December.  

 

So Vote on 13!

In an earlier thread I said 8-5. I'm getting more confident. Just hope it's not another letdown.

Yep, we have have that 'hedge' reaction to shield a too often broken Husker heart.

 

 

[Hagg]

We’ll win 4 or 5 games scattered through the season.  Hopes will abound after the first few.  I want at least 8 and thought I could see that.  Honestly can’t though.

OK @TGHusker, now do another thread with the same poll, but make the votes public
