Rooting for the Fighting Hoibergs tonight!
Same here. It would take a pretty big collapse, but we need Nebraska to remain in the top 30 of the NET Rankings (they're currently #15) since we lost to them at home. If they can beat MSU tonight, they have a chance to go on a real tear ... especially if they're as good as we think they might be.
Jan. 2 - vs. #14 Michigan State (Q1)
Jan. 5 - at #44 Ohio State (Q1)
Jan. 10 - at #33 Indiana (Q1)
Jan. 13 - vs. #95 Oregon (Q3)
Jan. 17 - at #72 Northwestern (Q1)
Jan. 21 - vs. #54 Washington (Q2)
Jan. 24 - at #108 Minnesota (Q2)
Jan. 27 - at #1 Michigan (Q1)
Feb. 1 - vs. #10 Illinois
They'll obviously be underdogs in Ann Arbor, but other than that?? They have some tests (e.g., at OSU and at Indiana), but win tonight and it's not out of the realm of possibility that the Huskers are 20-1, possibly even ranked in the top 5 and with one of the better resumes in the country when the Illini travel to Lincoln for a chance at revenge. Given we will have some extra motivation for that one, I want it to be the most marquee opportunity possible!
