[Husker] Wish I Knew ...

[Skylar Dodds]

Very well done...

Hope you don't mind if I post WHY Nebraska is better than Missouri:

Nebraska is better than  LSU because Nebraska beat ULL 55 - 0 while LSU only
beat ULL 31 - 3 
LSU beat  Washington 31 - 23 
Washington beat  Idaho 42 - 23 
Idaho beat  Colorado St 31 - 29 
Colorado St is better than  Missouri because Colorado St beat Nevada 35 - 20
while Missouri only beat Nevada 31 - 21

That last one is pretty telling tho (how not good Nevada is...), IYAM :)

Pat Gaule built a victory chain analyzer that connected teams through  
several years ago.

Adding to this concept, this year I've built a site that includes  
comparative scores.

The good news is we're better than Missouri...
