10/02 = W
10/09 = should win but fail again L
10/16 = W
10/30 = W
11/06 = L
11/20 = L
11/26 = L
Because of the defense we have a chance in every game, and based on that the L games will be close
This is just my take, you don't have to like it.

This season is crazy. It seems as though Alabama is OK, Oregon is OK, Penn State is OK, Georgia is OK, Arkansas is OK, and then who knows. Ohio State and Michigan don't look unbeatable, the texas schools not so much, OK against us wasn't much, UCLA sputtered out.
I'd hate to try to rank them now.

From the website - The Football Power Index (FPI) is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season. FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 20,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule. Ratings and projections update daily. FPI data from seasons prior to 2019 may not be complete.
simply a prediction tool, more than a current ranking ... but sure, science/math bad - Win good.

Well to their credit, they rank our offensive line #159 out of 130 teams.

Wisconsin's 2 losses are to two highly ranked ranked teams - Penn State and Notre Dame ... feast or famine ... who knows how good or bad the Badgers are?
Next week they play Michigan in Madison ... The only team I root for less than Michigan is Texas ... but I really really really want to see Wisconsin go 1-3. The following week they play Army who is currently 4-0 with a game against Ball State. Could these Badgers really go 1-4 to start the season? Would make my heart so giddy!
Firmly disagree - Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin ... with solid chances against Minnesota and Michigan.

And that really goes both ways whether you are in the "I've seen enough" camp or "I'm seeing improvement" camp.
can’t keep giving games away if we want to get this obnoxiously long rebuild over the hump.
yeah, valid point, but the "I've seen enough" has video after video after video of the same crap over and over again. So, there's that.
I get where both sides are coming from. I just choose to let Frost do his job, and trust that Trev will do his. The constant teeth gnashing even after a win gets old, probably why I hardly visit the football board anymore
it seems that you don't think both sides are valid, why else would you stop coming, or does the debating back and forth get to you?
regardless of what is said here.. Frost will do his job and so will Trev. This is a message board, debating/arguing is what is done.. on all of them, not just Nebraska boards.
Here’s what gives me hope. We have a solid defense that is really good against the run. Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin can’t throw the ball. Martinez gives us a chance in any game. The Big ten west looks like a pile of dog manure. Honestly there isn’t a quarterback on Martinez’s level in the west. Michigan barely beat Rutgers. These teams aren’t great. They have issues of their own. I don’t know how it will end up but we got a fighting chance.
