    7-2 going into the final three games is possible for the Huskers, but something more like 5-4 is just as possible.

    Purdue -14.

    The -4 was using ratings for Nebraska before losing to Geogia Southern and Oklahoma. Sagarin Predictor has it Purdue -14.63.

    And the -4 from the ratings after Week 0 was closer to correct than anything going into Week 7 with a 43-37 Purdue win.

    Right on, with Vegas and the Sagarin Predictor both saying 14 points it would have been a big upset if Nebraska had won. Just like I said six weeks ago, it would take a big upset. Nebraska has been playing better since getting rid of Frost. They may even make it to 5-4 as you predicted, but 7-2 was never realistic. Although they have some tough games left, so 3-9 is also a possibility.
