Revised Win Totals 7-5

[NU65]

11 wins baby. Stickin to it.

I like the optimism, but ******** 11 might be a stretch. I just don't see it

I’m sticking with 8-9 wins. Watching other games this weekend, not many teams looked any good at all

Actually unrealistic standards are about the worst thing you can have.

My theory is based on analytics models that say Cincy was about the 50th best team and that bottom half of Big12 is better than the Big Ten. People act like Big is good but after PSU, OSU, Michigan and Oregon it is not better if not worse than Big12.

Predictive Analytics Model 2024 end of season as follows. Basically the Big10 had 3-4 teams at top but our Bottom 3 teams were worse than any Big Ten team. Anyone looking at predictive models from last year to this year expected a competitive ball game with Cincinnati. They struggled last year but had 9 dudes on Phile Steeles top four All Big 12 (average team would have 4) including Corleone and that TE that were each on various all Big 12 teams and a returning starter at QB that is pretty decent player and a bad matchup the way we were scheming on defense. According to any predictive model I saw Cincy is expected to better opponent than Maryland, MSU and Northwestern as quite frankly, the bottom quarter of Big was hot garbage last year and all those teams have QB issues this year.

2024 ESPN Analytics

Nebraska 39

Cincinati - 51

Maryland - 69
MSU - 82
Northwester - 89
Purdue - 120

Predicting 7-8 wins with a win over Cincinnati and HCU, Akron, Maryland, MSU and Northwestern on schedule is not far fetched based on predictive analytics models. That is why models predicted 7.5 wins and a 1 score win over Cincy. Nothing has changed from Cincinnati game with run defense being a concern with all new starters on front 6 but offset a lot but what appears to be a complete overhaul of special teams (which not one is talking about)

This is the gayest thing ever written on the internet

i think ur vastly underrating Michigan st and overrating Minnesota even on the road.

Bump

7-5 with a potential to win 8 games. We desperately need to pull off a win against USC or UCLA.

Dang close I think, but now UCLA actually looks decent. Praying we can beat NW and get to a bowl.

Predicting a playoff berth was cringeworthy from some of us. I was hoping for 8-9. 7 looks possible maybe now. Minnesota is an awful team.

Another win and NU becomes eligible for the Toilet Bowl. Two wins and we elevate to the Urinal Cake Bow. Not much of a reward for those die hard's who took the 10 win season for granted.

Bump.

Maybe Matt will do a little less talking next year and focus on identifying talent at the DL, OL, RB, LB, and QB positions in that order.

It would be great if Rhule could show the ability to develop one player at these positions.

Still 9-10 until it’s not.

Didn’t nail it
