Nebraska's chances of winning the North depend on upsets - a few upsets and the North champ could very well have a 5 - 3 record. The Big 12 Championship game will not be competitive again.

unless we run the table at home and don't falter in Ames or Manhattan, i think we'll have a ****-storm of a tie-breaker of at least two 5-3 teams. like 05.
Yep they do, my bad. Point being, is this another one of those years where the north champ finishes 4-4 ?

the funniest thing will be seeing NU fan talk about how they "are back" again after winning 8 games...jus like they did with Billy boy Callahan. who had 9 star recruits and invented the forward pass for Heisman candidates like Sam Keller and Harrison Beck.

The same offense that had the 12th best qb in the nation and put up 3600 yards in the air....not to mention the ground game.
We weren't spectacular by any means but the north is weak as **** this year.

How can it be the same if the "12th best qb in the nation" isn't on the team anymore?
Because its NU. Just accept it and move on. Zac Lee for Heisman

I think this is a great omen. Why? Because I am about 90% sure that the buffs were picked to finish 4th in both 04 and 05, and won the division both years. While I'm less confident of this fact, I think NU may have been picked to finish 1st both of those years as well.:thumbsup:
I remember 04 because I had a ticket for CU to win the conference at 50-1 that year, so the ass kicking by OU was especially painful.

Because we've retained a good portion of our team from last year. Yes, we have a question mark at qb. Mizzou lost almost everyone, Kansas is looking good, k state...well...it's k state. ISU is ISU and we have Colorado who had a decent season.
I would think Kansas and NU would be the logical picks for #1 in the north.

Im not saying we are going to win the north. These guys pick based on where the teams are at from last season and how well they played. Can't blame them for making logical choices.
How do you think the rankings in the north should go? Honestly, like it was your job and you had to chose correctly?

Dude. I was responding to your comment that the Husker offense would be the same, in spite of the fact that NU has a new QB, that's all.
Deep breath, man...
Other than that I pretty much agree with most of the posters here: north should be wide-open. Helps that CU gets Mizzou, Kansas and NU at home, and that MU and Neb are breaking in new qbs.

The deciding factor is that CU gets all of the "contenders" at home this year. I believe we win all three. If all or some finish with the same record as us, then we get head to head tiebreaker on each of them. If we lose one or more of those games, it's a clusterfuk.

I can see it now, if the Buffs were to win the north all the naysayers will be claiming how the schedule was to our advantage.

I don't like blaming schedules so I wouldn't. The system is flawed and everyone plays in the same flawed system. It is what it is. Ours isn't much tougher.

Maybe so, but we do get other 3 North contenders at home. :huh:

They will be saying that while we have the cheap North trophy in our trophy case.
