I went under.....I think 8-4 or 7-5......if everything goes their way 10-2 is the limit.
I am thinking we can beat Northwestern and we can beat Iowa. We are not beating tOSU, and Oregon and Wisconsin I would say are toss-ups. I am thinking 8-4 is a pretty low bar, but that we can easily hit it. It's the safe bet. I sincerely think we'll be 9-3 or 10-2 this year if we don't have any major hiccups. Our schedule just isn't that bad, and really only two teams on that schedule are hands down better than us (and Oregon is debatable).
I agree though, even if EVERYTHING goes our way, there is at least 1 guaranteed loss on there (tOSU is just in an altogether different class right now) and I bet we lose to either Oregon or Wisconsin because we're just not that dominant yet.
How sad is that? If it comes down to NU beating some other lame *** team that finished with a 4-4 conference record and if our fans start freaking out about how "next year" will be great...well...Ugggg!
I'm getting real tired of some people around here not understanding that Mike Riley is just a nicer Nick Saban. Once some posters get off vacation, everything is gonna get straightened out right quick.
I've got 9 wins by the way. Less than that with this schedule is no good.

I'm getting on this train. I think all games are winnable. The huge upset would be OSU, but we have pulled one out on them before . We have the talent and motivation to allow ourselves too win; we are due a turnover plus game.
