10-4 would be beating Wisky twice and Minnesota on the road. I accounted for losses to Michigan, OSU, Iowa and Maryland.

Beating Wisconsin twice will be hard...but doable this year.
Iowa is imploding.
Illinois will probably split with NU if they play them home-home.

Iowa always seems to bite Nebraska, but I think Wisky is there for the taking this year, as long as Miles can keep Wisky's secondary options after Happ in control.
Illinois is a home-home, so you could be right there.

Illinois just pressures the ball so much right now that there is a chance it is one of those 25 turnover games. Even though the Illini stink right now.

There's a little bit, but the way they have been playing, there no reason they shouldn't be favored over at least half of their remaining games. They're favored tonight against Wisky.

I'm not sure there is too much Kool-Aid. I've got them going 8-6 the rest of the way, but 6 of those are tossups that I have Nebraska going 2-4 in so 10-4 is not completely out of the question.

Lets look at the remaining schedule
vs Wisconsin
@ Penn State
vs Illinois
vs Michigan
@ Ohio State
@ Rutgers
vs Iowa
@ Wisconsin
@ Minnesota
vs Rutgers
vs Maryland
@ Illinois
vs Indiana
vs Penn State
Ohio State and Michigan are very tough games.
Minnesota is cooked. They have no depth and these guys quit 2 years ago when the going got tough.
Illinois is young and talented, but I think we can flex our muscle against them.
Here are the losses I see:
vs Michigan
@ Ohio State
Wins:
vs Wisconsin
vs Illinois
@Rutgers
vs Iowa
@ Minnesota
vs Rutgers
vs Penn State
Toss ups
@ Penn State
@ Wisconsin
vs Maryland
@ Illinois
vs Indiana
I say 2-3 in the toss ups and add those 3 losses to the other 2 losses- 9-5/ 11-7 in league play.
11-7 puts us around 5-7 which will be tough with our non-con. I still think only 5 from the B1G get in.

Pretty close to what I have. I have Michigan as more of a toss up than obvious loss. I know they are usually a tough matchup for us, but we have players that match up better with them this year than we have in recent years. I also hadn't adjusted for Minnesota losing Lynch.

Fair and being at home can help. I was looking at the last time we went dancing and we had like 1 loss at home.

They got a lay up late and we missed two good shots (and were probably fouled on at least one) so Michigan won by one.
