I disagree with one thing Hlas says. If Nebraska does end up beaten and bruised by November is will make the Big Ten look better. It won't make the addition of Nebraska look less attractive, it'll demonstrate just how tough the Big Ten is when a Big 12 team joins and gets a wakeup call.
A worse scenario would be Nebraska breezing through with an 11-1 record. It would give Big Ten critics more fuel. "See! We told you the Big Ten was weak"
I think it's important that the Huskers suffer at least 2 conference losses.
