Wow, what would the win total have been set at if Riley was still here? 1.5?
That is a little low, 7 home games and I think we will be favored, come game time, in 6. Steal a win against Northwestern and it's 7, and beat Michigan St at home and it's 8.
Winning six games would be a baseline level performance, IMO. Winning less than 6 would mean we lost all games considered tossup or worse and at least one is which we were favored. That's a season of wins over Akron, Troy, Purdue, Illinois, and either Minnesota, NW or CU.
If our lines simply perform with more effort and consistency, both sides of the ball will be much better than last.

This line is comical. I think we win out at home and you're telling me we're gunna lose to NW who lost Thorston and Justin Jackson?? I mean, we should have beat them last year and that was the worst husker team in history lol.
Maybe steal one at Wisky or Michigan. Why not? Other teams go on the road and upset ranked teams. I promise this staff and these players can do the same. I see 7 possibly 8 wins. I'm going to Vegas in 4 weeks and I'll be laying a hefty amount on the over as well as NW under 7.5; I see 5 wins for NW at most 6 wins.

Gasbag inherited a lot of NFL talent - 14 drafted after his first two seasons.
Vegas doesn't always get it right of course, but as a collective whole, they're a helluva lot smarter than me, and anyone posting on this board. Seems like a low # to me, but there's no way in hell I'm putting any of my money on it.
It is regular season wins. tOSU is at the top of the BIG with 10.5

A lot of talk about the importance of development - maybe he developed those guys into NFL draft picks. He took over a program that had 12 total wins the 2 years previously. Frost is taking over a program that had 13 wins the last 2 years.
Maybe, but last year Michigan had 9 players drafted in the first 4 rounds and 11 total. This year they had just 2 players drafted.
Taking the over. Easy money. This is Frost and not Mr. Smiley driving an Oregon plated Prius
In theory Akron, Troy, Illinois, Purdue & Minnesota should pretty much be auto wins. So there is 5 right there. Colorado, Northwestern, Iowa, Michigan St. feel like 50/50 games to me. And we'll be dogs in the rest. So take care of business in the 5 auto's, and win 2 of the 50/50's, and bam, bowl game and the over.
Have a look at UM's recruiting rankings the years leading up to his first year as compared to NU and let me know if that's still a valid comparison.
Most people said 6 when Frost was newly hired. Now after the spring game kool-aid expectations are higher? Our only gimmes are Akron, Illinois, and Troy. (3)
Our toss-ups are Colorado, Minnesota, Purdue, Northwestern...win half these (2)
Our sure losses are Michigan, Michigan state, Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin(0)
And Vegas gave us a +.5 because it is Frost.
Even at UCF Frost only won 6, probably had better talent than a lot of teams on his schedule because they had been in a bcs a few years before. It took a while for frost to clear out the chaff. I think year 2 will see massive improvement but year 1 will look like rebuilding, which it is.

That line is crazy! Of course we'll win more than five games.
*reads the win total projection thread from last year*
I'm just gonna shut up. I hope for our own sanity we don't have to endure another horrible season.

Go to a massage parlor that sells weed and takes bets, problem solved!!!!! Your welcome.
You need to look at it from an investment stand point. 100 for weed, 100 for sexy time, 800 on huskers
Its obvious, we have a new coaching staff, same players, new attitude, some old bad habits. Given all of the changes, not sure how anyone is an "auto win" anymore. Now how sad is it to say that. Gone are the days when we knew 2 or 3 games a year were going to be really difficult. Now, almost everyone on the schedule can beast us on a given day including Northern Illinois. Colorado is much improved and so is Troy of all people. When the wins do come they aren't by 50+ points anymore as well. Welcome to the new reality. Every win will be a struggle most likely.
Colorado and Troy are much improved over what? The 80’s? Colorado was 5-7 last year, coming off a season where they played in a pac12 title game. Troy lost their QB and other important players from their Squad. Heck we can talk Akron up if we want they were 7-7 last year and played in the MAC title game.
If that are actualy numbers. I'm taking the overs for $1,000. Anyone want part of that?
Makes me think 6 is the ceiling, which makes sense, because UCF won 6 in Frost's first year.
Shittier conference with more 1st year talent too...
No touch
Really not sure what to guess for. We have a murderers row schedule. Anything is possible really, but its hard to get my hopes up too much... i mean, I don't think Riley would be better than 1 or 2 wins this fall. I'm thinking 4-6 wins right now.
You have a wide range of scents!
I could see 5 wins with Nebraska licking their chops at the outcome. Progress and a recruiting class with Frost filling the roster out 4 years. I'd take it.
