     Depends on how you define "possible".  I guess anything is 
possible.  I think over the Osborne years we got so used to challenging 
for the NC we sort of got blinded to how difficult that really is.  I 
seriously doubt if this team goes undefeated they will win the NC.  If 
they go undefeated I doubt they will be in the top five barring some 
sort of collapse by 4-6 other teams  NU has to place in the voters minds 
they are back to respectability before a NC is in view.  This year could 
do a lot to enhance that thought.  If everything just absolutely clicks 
perfectly I would see more of a lower top ten finish.  But, to me, that 
would show tremendous improvement.


    Actually, this team should be no worse than 8-4 barring injury to 
crucial players.  I could see losses to Wake Forest, USC, Missouri, and 
Texas with A&M being tough.  The biggest problem is Missouri, Texas, and 
Wake Forest are all on the road.  The Huskers may lose to A&M but if 
they do I look for them to pick up a win against one of the other four.  
As others have stated this team could be 10-2 or they could be 7-5 or 
anywhere in between and people shouldn't be surprised.
