Extremely detailed preview has Nebraska winning the West (Pick Six Previews). Discuss

Gosh seeing Missouri there in the rival trophies section is nice. I would like to schedule them for a non-conference game. It's amazing that they could win a third straight SEC WEst (or East don't know division) title.

 
Seeing ESPN rated 22nd out of 26 sources when it comes to accuracy ratings is great

I didn't see anything that was surprising in the article. I agree with most of it. I think the season comes down to 2 games, and I am not talking about Wiscy and MSU. I think it comes down to BYU and Miami. If we can win both those games, it sets up for a great year. On the flip side, if we lose both games we are in for a long year. I believe it will come down to confidence in the game plan and coach. So winning early will be key.

 
No it comes down to talent or lack there of. We have an upgrade in coaching I think, in every aspect. We have lost a lot of talent this year. All American running back, what should have been a top ten drat pick off the defense. We do not see those type of departures that often. If the staff can get the talent to buy in as alluded to, we will see a good season. But beating Miami and BYU is not anything like being able to beat Michigan State.

BYU and Miami are early games, and non conference games. If we lost both yet went undefeated in conference play, nobody would really care much we lost those since we would be playing for a conference title at 10-2.
It comes down to MSU and Wiscy, no doubt about it.

Hands down my favorite season preview thus far. Maybe I am biased, but I have never been ready to crown Wiscy the division winner like a lot of people have. Sure their season is pretty much cake after Bama, but I don't expect their transition to go as smoothly as ours and I think we beat them in Lincoln. Heck I see them losing to Minnesota too.

 
Basically we need to beat Wisconsin if we want to win the West. Its gonna be awful hard to make up the tiebreaker if we lose to them. Lose to them and we would need to go 7-1 and hope for them to go 6-2. Or we need to go 6-2 and hope for them to go 5-3.

I said it in another thread. AA is a loss for sure, but Gregory's impact on games was almost non existent last year. He had about 4 good games and that was it. How many games did he miss or play very little in I think it was 3. He played well against MSU that is really the only game I remember him having an impact.

Man you got to trust that at least one of those RB we have will step up and make plays. They were all quality backs coming into the system. Everything will be alright at the RB position.

We have talent it is just unproven..
