This has zero importance unless we’re in the hunt for a playoff spot.

I disagree. It has less importance, but strength of schedule always matters when evaluating teams.
What will we be evaluated for where a win against a bad Nebraska team will matter?
Not for mediocre teams.
"That 6-6 team is overrated!" seems like a silly argument to engage.
.No one cares to look beyond final record for many teams.

This loss and the way it happened I think is really bad for Frost. There's absolutely no reason to not take a time out there.

They're playing for the right to lose to LSU by 30 in the SEC championship game lol. Pass on that one.
Yep, I'm sure there are some disgruntled kids in that locker room. I know the players are still mostly Riley's, but he's just not a very good coach.

Nubb is 4-5 with three games left. Let's see how the remaining schedule stacks up:
Wiscy at home ... loss. Playing in Lincoln ain't the advantage it used to be.
@ Maryland ... the Terps suck, but given Frosty's road record (1-8) even this is not a gimmee.
Iowa at home ... see Wiscy above.
Guess what f uskers ....
NO BOWL FOR YOU!!

Good point.
Purdue is not an easy place to build a program.
They look like they have a coach though who may be able to pull it off. This kind of win late in the season can go a long way. It makes it much easier to keep the kids in the program focused and believing. It also sends a well timed message to recruits.
For Frosty and the fuskers this is a disaster, and how they lost it after a solid start has to get even more of the players questioning his message. They have already shown signs of a team that is willing to quit.
It also has to be making recruits question what Frosty is selling. It seems when a new coach takes over a struggling program he gets a window in which he can sell the idea of a new beginning, a new era. Once he gets a couple years in recruits start asking why they aren't seeing it on the field. What the Nebraska recruits are seeing can't be giving them confidence in the future of that program.
Huskers eating their own over at their boards. Starting to set in that Frost is all hat, no cattle. His team doesn't respect him.
Already counting out Alabama?
Are the goats gonna backdoor a bowl game??
They have to win two of three:
Air Force
@ Wyoming
Boise State
If they make a bowl game (unlikely), they will have earned it.
They already want to fire Bobo and AD Joe Parker but don't have the money. Finishing strong but coming up one game short of a bowl would be the perfect defensible failure. Leave the fans feeling like the season is a failure and lacking hope for the future but not bad enough to move closer to firing anyone.
Quincy Patterson hasn't been very good for VT, is Willis hurt?

I think LSU's going to beat them so yeah
I think most people would say he should stay, but during that Oregon game, they sure made it seem like his mentality was NFL all the way. This is a strong QB class though. Don’t think he’d be a 1st rounder and possibly not even a 2nd.
Which was the point of my question. Sounds like you are assuming Bama loses to LSU at home. That’s like betting against the Patriots in January in Foxboro.

Walterfootball has him going 9 to the Bucs right now. If one of these QBs falls in the draft, Jake Fromm seems most likely to do so.,
He will be a late 1st rounder, but could be top five in 2021. Upside is huge, experience is the drawback.

Disagree again. I think this LSU team is as good as they've had in who knows how long. That offense is tremendous, and they showed they can win a grind it out game last week against Auburn. Tua's ankle is a huge question for me too. I'm betting on LSU next week.

Tua will be just fine.

I expect him to play lol. I'm not sure if he'll be 100%.
Not buying it. This tightrope was not as complicated as last time, but he has less time to recovery. It affected him last year. I think he plays. I don’t expect full Tua.

We’ll see! Former Alabama players talked about how quickly recovery is in an SI article. I just wouldn’t bet against Alabama over that but that’s just me.
Good point, but I still expect him to show up and play well.
