Football Study Hall Post-Non Con Projected Wins for Nebraska

Saunders

Saunders

Heisman Trophy Winner
This is done by the guys at SBnation who came up with the S&P+ rankings, an advanced stat for "power rankings" similar to Sagarin. Anywho, they have us losing the next 3, and beating Purdue, NW, Rutgers, and Iowa to finish 6-6.

Update:

ESPN's lovely "FPI" system has us projected to lose to Illinois (49.3% win probability), Wisconsin (42.1%) and MSU (33.0%), and finish 7-5.

So, we are suppose to believe that (1) Minnesota can score 30+ and (2) we will lose to Minney by a large margin than Michigan St? :\

 
At least we beat Iowa!

For real though, as much as I love stats, there are so many qualitative aspects in football that can change from week to week that can invalidate a lot of those stats.

 
A string of 3 losses is totally possible (how sobering). If it happens, it will severely test the mettle of a Huskers team known in recent years for up-and-down psyche and also for at least being able to celebrate and hang their hats on 9 wins.

It's not going to be real pleasant if this happens.

If it does, so be it. Tests of mettle are nothing more, nothing less than opportunities to rise above.

Personally, I'd just breathe a sigh of relief. And if we crush 'em, I'd dig up some old Sam McKewon stuff to retweet at him ;D All in good fun -- fair's fair when you call those hot shots.

Doesn't seem unreasonable at all.

Minney's offense is anemic, and Cook is dynamic against a good secondary. I'm not buying it.

Hope these predictions are wrong, and I expect us to have 7+ wins this year. Hopefully I'm not eating my words in a few weeks...
