Just a thought - Are we our own

[colhusker]

worse enemy right now.  The Big 10 is down this year but given we were picked to be near the bottom and are in 4th place making folks believe the conference is down more than it really is?  I mean the $EC teams beat each other and it's called balance.

The qualify of the league is way overblown.  Hope the selection folks understand this.  Hopefully Rasmussen isn't a douche.  He has to be aware of what is going on, living in Nebraska.

I don't think that's the case.  The conference struggled in non conference games.

 

In 2013 - 14, we finished 4th and the conference wasn't looked at being down.

I've thought same thing. Injuries have affected some Big 10 teams and Huskers can only play teams on their schedule. Things will play themselves out but it sure is one helluva fun ride that still has lots of laps left.

Can't control anything but the games we play in.  We need to win baby.

Rasmussen is going to be in our corner...he'll just need to make sure everyone else is.

Yet we split our games against the mighty Big East in the Gavitt Games... I call bull **** on our conference being too weak that we have to go 14-4

I think we win out, we are in.  I just don't think that us finishing 4th means the conference is terrible.  Look at OSU, they were predicted to finish 12th, and they have a chance at winning the conference.

 

I do say it is crappy that they look more at games in November than February.   

 

Also, BSU was getting more praise for beating 11 - 13 N Mexico than we did for beating Minnesota.
