ESPN’s FPI Predicts a 6-6 (or 5-7) Season for Nebraska Football in 2018

Analytics have to use 2017 as a base for 2018 expectations. That tempers everything.

ESPN has released their Football Power Index for the 2018 season, and it’s not exactly buying into Scott Frost’s restoration project for this season.

And frankly, it shouldn’t. Any analytics platform is going to use prior results to help project the future, and Nebraska’s 2017 results were, well, not good.

Wait. That’s being generous. 4-8, giving up three straight fifty-burgers to close out the season wasn’t just “not good”; it was awful. So while Scott Frost represents a coaching upgrade, it’s going to be tough for analytics to call for much of a rebound in 2018.
