Yeah, I think Nebbie does quite a bit better.

They get three wins to start barring major upset and then OU at home.  Maybe that's an L, could be great game.  Indiana, Rutgers, Purdue, could be 6-1 at that point and ranked.  Then the real season starts.

Minny, 
@ UM
Wisconsin
@ Iowa

2-2 would be a great outcome at this point I think.  That's a 9-3 season, certainly could be one more or less wins there.

Nebraska schedule:

Northwestern (Dublin, Ireland): W, but man opening against ILL last year should've been too
North Dakota: W
GA Southern: W
Oklahoma: L
Indiana: W, I assume they will be bad again this year, but we'll see
@Rutgers: L, tough road trip against a decent team
@Purdue: L
Illinois: W, tough game, but I think Nebbie will win this one.
Minnesota: L, this is the one they need to win to go bowling.
@Michigan: L
Wisconsin: L
@Iowa: L, but maybe they can finally get this one.  So close last year.

So yeah, you have them at 7-1, I have them at 5-3 going into that tough final stretch.  Probably they won't lose all of those, but they could also drop a game to Indiana or Northwestern if they are as inconsistent as last year.  The schedule is definitely easier, but it's hard for me to say anything is guaranteed outside of ND and GA Southern.  Northwestern and Indiana are close, but then every other game is going to be a dog fight.

Let's have a look at my surprise pick, Maryland.  There will of course be some W's that you guys will disagree with.

Buffalo: W
Charlotte: W
SMU: W, should be a great game
@Mich: L
MSU: W, perhaps a surprise to some
Purdue: W, this is a tossup type game, but it's at home
@Indiana: W
Northwestern: W
@Wisconsin: L
@Penn State: L, but some definite upset potential here
Ohio State: L
Rutgers: W

That gives them an 8-4 record.

I'd take 1-3 in the last 4. need to beat Iowa, I live here.

I'd give up a loss to Purdue to get the win over the Sooners

8-4 would be wonderful
