Another view from the outside, looking in

[Huskerpapa]

Perhaps this article, or parts of it, is posted elsewhere.  But I thought it was yet another good view of our program and where it now stands, especially in comparison to expectations.  I think we all know that we have improved this year, and yet, we are no where close to where many of us want, and expect to be....especially our head coach.  So again, enjoy....

Yes, Nebraska is 14-10 overall, 6-6 in the Big Ten, and I realize that doesn't sound like much. But the Huskers have three top-50 RPI wins, and just three losses outside of the top 50, which means they have as many top-50 wins as Ohio State, Virginia, Louisville, Memphis and Connecticut (and one more than Kentucky), and fewer losses outside of the top 50 than North Carolina, Kansas State, Georgetown, Missouri, Xavier and Minnesota.

 

Seven of Nebraska's 10 losses are to sure-bet NCAA tournament teams.

Again, the Huskers have just as many top-50 wins as Ohio State, Virginia, Louisville, Memphis and Connecticut (and one more than Kentucky), and they have fewer losses outside of the top 50 than North Carolina, Kansas State, Georgetown, Missouri, Xavier and Minnesota. Each of the schools listed in the previous sentence is either in Jerry Palm's latest projected bracket or featured in Tuesday's Bubble Watch here at CBSSports.com.

 

So Nebraska can't be far off, can it?

 

"Look at the details," Miles said. "All the bubble teams would be 14-10 with our schedule."

I think when you look at bubble teams, there comes a point where you kind of ask yourself... What would their record be had they played this teams schedule. I can't imagine a team that is that much better with our schedule on the bubble. Maybe a win... Two max.
