IF we start 6-0, and then have a bye week, I have a hard time seeing us lose to Indiana.  A drubbing at Ohio state the following week makes a lot more sense as we would be approaching top 10 and ready for the reality check.

If we are 7-0 going into OSU...then get beat, I don't think we lose to UCLA or Iowa.

I'm going to feel so much better about this season if our QB and offense show they are better than last year in the first few games.

 
Yes, win the games we should (based on talent and all things Nebraska) to start the season and I think we have a shot at not only a bowl but a respectable bowl game.

Michigan lost eight straight games to Ohio State and 15 out of 16.

No way Michigan beats them three years in a row.

Ah yes. The turkey that believes everything that was will continue to be - is in for a rude awaking on thanksgiving. 

A bowl game by itself is a huge stepping stone for a team that hasn't been there since 2016 .  Getting it in exactly the first six games and by the way getting it while we are currently on a four game losing streak would be unbelievable.  

 
I think opening the season not playing an in conference foe will help a lot.  Let the players get the kinks out.  "Shouldn't" have to worry about being out coached with the talent gap.  Then  play a 'real" team in Colorado at home.  Win that one and you are set up nicely for a win streak.  Although if they win the first 3 I could definitely see them dropping a head scratcher to Illinois. 

 
This guy is predicting the 2024 playoff:

He has Oregon winning the B1G, Georgia the SEC, Utah the Big 12,  Clemson the ACC, Boise State - Mtn West 

Won't he be surprise when Nebraska gains the 4th B1G spot shoving KSU out of contention.   chuckleshuffle
