Not sure about that, the big 12 is a joke of a conference. The line play across the board is weak in the Big 12, which allows Colorado to thrive. Nebraska has regressed every game up until the tOSU game, that being said, Nebraska is still far better than Colorado
The Big 12 is an easier conference. NU is playing better teams in the Big 10, especially defensively. Should NU be doing better offensively? Heck yes. If NU played in! He Big 12 6 wins would be simple matter every year.Not sure about that, the big 12 is a joke of a conference. The line play across the board is weak in the Big 12, which allows Colorado to thrive.

Truth is Colorado might be pretty much the same team they were a year ago and got pummeled in what was a very deep and talented Pac 12. Outside of 3 teams in the big 12 yes it is a joke of a conference. In fact the 2 winningest programs in the Big 12 are Colorado followed by West Virginia. It also seems to me that only one team has won a national championship which was Colorado.Not sure about that, the big 12 is a joke of a conference.

The poo pooing isn’t going to stop, but you’re right- NU deserves credit, at least at this point, for beating a ranked CU team. Another thing to consider is had NU beat Illinois, that would have been considered a win against a ranked team - but Illinois wouldn’t be ranked this week had that happened.
There a joke that if Nebraska would go to the Big 12, the strength of both the Big 12 and the B1G would improve. Unfortunately more truth in it than I’d like to admit.
It seems that other than BYU and KSU , defense is an afterthought.Not sure about that, the big 12 is a joke of a conference.

It’s not where you start it’s where you finish it has always been the bottom line…
No thanks, a rematch wouldn't be fun at all. I'm probably making this up but the winner of game 1 almost always loses game 2. What year was it we rematched with Washington in the bowl game and got slaughtered?
You’re right
It's a tough conference. Same with the SEC. Rutgers is struggling only because they are slightly above-average in a conference that doesn't allow teams to just be above-average. Going undefeated is a huge accomplishment, and when all is said and done don't be surprised if Oregon has 1 or more losses. Indiana is a good team but they will have to play OSU and Oregon in a B10CG, if they get there. Miami would not be undefeated in our conference. And no Big 12 team would be either. Iowa was leading ISU until the final seconds. ISU would not be undefeated in our conference.

Sounds a lot like what I heard about Indiana a few weeks ago. I think there's a lot to be said for building momentum and winning begets winning, no matter who it's against. I wish Nebraska was fools gold. Ever.
You are correct. It could work both ways. That is why we only count it if they are ranked at the time we play them. Not several games before nor several games after.
I don’t disagree but statistically, at the national level and for the record books it is at the time.
The Pac 12 was awesome last year. If only they would have had a season like that a few years earlier, they would still have a real conference. There's too much "soft" in the Big 12, CU is gonna have a competitive advantage over most teams in that conference if Deon stays & can attract more mercenaries every year.
