ESPN FPI final record projection:
4-8

The skinny: Slotted No. 63 overall in the FBS ranks in ESPN's expansive FPI rankings, the Worldwide Leader expects a cataclysmic fall from grace the rest of the way for the Huskers, who might be playing without star tailback Maurice Washington for the remainder of the year. It doesn't look good for Nebraska, who is projected to lose all five of its remaining games against Indiana, Purdue, Wisconsin, Maryland and Iowa. That's shocking to say the least. The Huskers are only winning 47.7 percent of simulations vs. the Hoosiers and 39.6 percent of simulations vs. the Boilermakers, two teams Nebraska out-talents in roster depth. A 4-8 second season for Scott Frost would require an epic meltdown.

Ye who enter abandon all hope!

As poor as we've played I'll take that bet we will have over 4 wins.

I think we get to 5. Dunno though.

Bowl.

8-4. I stand by it

We are doomed! Where's the highest cliff in Nebraska? I'm jumping. But I'll need a ride to get there. Any takers?

I'm fairly confident we get 5 wins, and very likely 6.

At this point, Frost HAS to realize that we can't suffer a third straight season without a bowl. The extra practice is the real reward here, not whatever bush league bowl we wind up in.

I think the team pulls out whatever few tricks we have left in the playbook and scrapes together two more wins.

Chimney Rock? But it's shaped like a bell curve (just like Riley's offense) so you'll probably just softly roll down the hill (just like Riley's defense).

When do we leave?

Whatever record this team posts the final five games of the year, the staff will have most definitely earned.

Anything less than 6-6 will absolutely piss me off.

We agree on something. But at this point I'm being overly optimistic considering the performance up to this point. Without cleaning up the performance it is easy to imagine six wins being untenable. They will have to simply fix the obvious problems and stick to using their strengths. This team is neither short on talent nor opportunity.

This staff will because they are good coaches.
