Nebbish - 8-4 (4-4)

Buffs - 6-6 (3-5)

[SoonerofAlabama]

Nebraska-
Fairly Easy, except for playing Ohio State and Wisconsin in back-to-back weeks along with playing Northwestern and Michigan State in back-to-back. They won't have as spectacular of a defense as they did last year, but they are stocked with weapons. I think Michigan could be pretty good this year. If Denard Robinson stays healthy and some players step up they could do well and give Nebraska a challenge late in the season. Nebraska's non-conference schedule is terrible: Wyoming, Fresno State, and UT-Chattanooga. They do play Washington, but WU more than likely won't be too well either. They will probably go 10-2 with a loss at Wisconsin and I think Northwestern gets an upset on NU.

Colorado-
Pretty Difficult, I notice they don't play Utah, who is the better of the two newcomers. They play an slightly difficult non-conference schedule with games at Hawaii, at Ohio State, and vs. Colorado State. They lost some weapons in the draft also. They weren't very good last year and have to play Oregon, Stanford, and Arizona. All of whom will field good teams next year. Colorado won't do too well in my opinion. They do play Ohio State early, when most of their players are inelligible, but CU dfoesn't look like they have the talent level to beat them as Ohio State has found the players to fill those roles. They will go 6-6 as my prediction and will upset either Oregon, Stanford, or Arizona.

Who cares?
Well I do, Thinking about what our schedule would be like if we would have
changed conferences!

Colorado gonna blow

[Whet]

I see 5 probable losses for nebish - Lose: Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan State, Penn State, and Iowa.

[LASooner]

I think the Nebbish go 9-3 at worst.

Colorado will be a smoldering crater.

[usaosooner]

Colorado going get killed but DANG thats a fun schedule for fans

[ouwasp]

heh... bet a lot of buff fans will be disguised as empty seats come November. It will be interesting to see how the season unfolds for Nebraska.

[FirstAndGoalOU]

Think about it, changing conferences!
1. I do wish Bo the best in the Big 10/12,
[ I don't think there is any thing that he is not familiar with in that area of play, Ohio boy, just like Bob and Mike.] 9-3
2. Colorado....Rocky mountain high...good luck 5-7

Thoughts on how we would do with either of their schedules?

i don't know what "high off his anus" means ???
besides, he said they mite upset one of 3; az doesn't seem like too much of a stretch.

This ^^^^^^^^

Seconded. Duly seconded. I don't care how either of them does.

[NormanPride]

Are we forgetting how awful Colorado was in the Big 12? They'll win 3 maybe 4 games.

that's why he called it an "upset".

The nebbish will play tOSU the week they get the players back from suspension. How Tressel will handle the situation is up in the air and probably will be going into the week of that game. Short of playing them while the players are suspended, I think NU catches them at the perfect time because of the uncertainty it will cast over the buckeyes.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Let's just remember some recent upsets by far worse teams over much larger schools.

2010: Jacksonville State 49 Ole Miss-48 20T
2010: James Madison 21 Virginia Tech 16
2007: Appalachian State 34 Michigan 32

Just to name a few. It may have taken some luck, but it could happen with Colorado. They could beat Arizona. We will see what happens next year.
