The Big Ten's (And NU's) Struggle for Respect

[NUpolo8]

And by the way....

Poor scheduling is especially appropo for Nebraska this year. As it has one of the worst schedules it's ever had. Granted, some of it is out of their control, but that doesn't take away the fact that it's bad, and if you gave NU any other schedule that a sec west team has, it ain't 8-1.

If Nebraska would have played Alabama's schedule so far, I wouldn't say it's a slam dunk that they are worse than 8-1.

Up to now, there could be four potential losses there (WVU, ole miss, a&mmamd Arkansas), but they could be ok too.Either way, that's a better schedule than ours by a damn sight.

"potential losses" is totally different than "it ain't 8-1".

Ok fine,If Nebraska played that schedule I would predict losses to WVU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, possibly A&M, LSU, Miss. st and Auburn. And oh man would the Auburn loss be ugly.

Your nuts man, on what basis would you do that, seemingly because it fits your naritive and that's about it

Ok......which ones are wrong?

I don't think you are necessarily wrong but the losses you perceive are more toss ups. I can see us winning all of them just as much as you see us losing them.

So you think Nebraska is the best team in college football?

Not necessarily. I think when you look at any team ahead of them, there isn't a true dominant team like there has been in the past. If there was ever a year of parity in CFB, I think this is it.

Easily... Why is that hard for you to believe?

I really do not care either way, you guys are just arguing to be arguing it seems to me.

I do think you are going to see a difference in scheduling. SEC has it right with the cupcakes at the end or middle of the season. Time to heal starters normally, and adapt what you have learned.

But all of us see how Michigan State has faired with an early season loss to Oregon. Not to bad, boat loads of credit for playing them. If they had won, they would setting in the top 3 for sure.

I think Nebraska has tried to do that with UCLA, USC, Miami and Tennessee. We just have not had the ability to beat some of them and the others are not where they were expected to be.

I do believe that the McNeese State's should go away. We have nothing to gain by playing that level of a team. We lose no matter how it turns out.

We have a weak schedule, but not entirely Nebraska's fault. The big 10 pooped the bed early in the season. Some ridiculous number of losses, including Ohio State and Michigan State. That is where the credibility went down this year.

Well on that plane if you look at any team below them, you could see why they'd lose to them. With the exceptions of a few, right?

Either way I think the top ten is pretty damn good. Especially Auburn and Oregon. And I have a hard time thinking we'd give all of them a game when maybe the weakest of the top ten beat us around like a cat with a dying mouse before getting bored.

I have called the emergency services to let them know you overdosed.

The kool-aid drinker in me says we would gave a good shot in all of them...the realist says we beat WVU. Arkansas, A&m, 50/50 vs LSU and one miss, loose to Auburn and miss St

Your argument would be more believable and fun to have if your history wasn't as a hater

Stop scheduling any team not in a Power 5 conference and most of tis "respect" problem goes away.

Except Miss St and Ole Miss got their rankings by doing exactly that.

It's not so much about scheduling as it is about winning. A majority of big time non-con and bowl games that B1G teams have played in the past 5-7 years have not been a very good showing for the conference.

If the conference wants respect, each individual team in the B1G needs to show up and win its bowl games, ESPECIALLY against teams in the SEC.

Remind me how tough the SEC west is after Auburn just got embarrassed by TAMU.

Hey MO Husker the SEC west is tough.

That was rhetorical. And no... No it isn't.
