I'm not suggesting that one series will make up for that, but if you have that one series built in every year, it's a start for the conference as a whole and makes it that much easier for Nebraska to upgrade the schedule. All of those quality teams you mention have been pretty up and down over the last 5-10 years outside of Texas. The point is its not like they are all top 25 programs every year your trying to replace. Nebraska needs to have the non-con loaded up with top 50 type teams and I see no reason they cant do that. I guess time will tell, but if Nebraska can get a few top 25 teams on the schedule every year and then fill in with quality opponents behind that......then it will have an opportunity to make the tourney. Right now, Nebraska's strength of schedule is not projected to be that much worse than last years (preseason 83 to 40 last year). Obviously, it needs to improve, but I don't believe it is that impossible of a task....In fact I think it is much easier to do in baseball than in other sports.
