Holy $#@& Phil Steele

[desertshox]

According to ESPN FPI the list would be:

1. Michigan

2. UCF

3. Boise St

4. LSU

5. Penn St

6. Missouri

7. Utah

8. Florida

9. Minnesota

10. Virginia Tech

11. Miami (FL)

12. Baylor

13. Nebraska

My list:

Michigan (@Penn ST, tOSU), LSU (@Texas, @Bama), Missouri (@Georgia) Miami (Florida, @Florida St), Utah (@USC, @Washington)

miami would most likely have to beat clemson in the acc title game as well to get in.

miami would most likely have to beat clemson in the acc title game as well to get in.

LSU would likely need to beat Georgia, Missouri beat Bama, Utah beat Washignton/Oregon. That is why they all likely won't, but that is why these teams haven't already been to the playoffs.

Northwestern? That list looks suspect other than the $EC teams, because the committee will not shy away from having two four of them. :angry: 

I stand corrected.

Wait...someone posted they would be okay with 7-5???

Come on!

Our expectations have fallen a long way over the years. They haven't been kind to husker nation.

Our performance and our max capabilities have also fallen. Expectations should be based on an actual metric other than, "We should be awesome because we're Nebraska and that's awesome".

Come on!

You're saying that after back-to-back 4-8 seasons, you'd be upset with Nebraska playing in a bowl game and possibly winning eight games?

I think the only way we're that bad this year is if Martinez gets hurt.  And yes, it would be upsetting.

Upset?  No...I think more like...blah.

I think it is called "Rileyed"

Phil Steele has us at 8.5 wins on the season. That seems reasonable.

That’s what “okay with” means to most people.

Most people who are not okay with something are upset with it to some degree.

I am okay with this.

Me and my buddy bet together each season...and we each pick 5 teams and bet their season wins (either the over or the under).  It is pretty fun.  None of those on the top 10 really catch my eye.  Maybe under on Bama?  I could see them losing one.  I like Illinois over 3.5.

Thats not Phil Steeles win projections, he is just tweeting the betting lines Caesars Palace has put out for teams he likes this year. He predicted us at 10 regular season wins.
