[Husker] Strength of Schedule

[Tommy Thompson]

Looking back at the Huskers 7 losses, their opponents went 5-2 in the bowl games.  3 of those teams (KU, USC, MU) should finish in the top 5.  Texas will finish in the top 20.  

USC over Illinois
TX over ASU
KS over VT
CO loss to AL
MU over Arkansas
OK St over Indiana
aTm loss to PSU

Nevada, Wake Forest, and Ball St also went bowling.  1-1 with the Ball St game remaining.

Huskers played as tough a schedule as anyone in the country.  If the offense is anywhere near as good as it was this year, and the defense improves as predicted, the Huskers should compete for the Big XII North next year.
