I don't even understand this question, Ohio State is a better team, a better program, and a national power. Of course I would rather see Nebraska beat them.

Picked Ohio state. More national exposure. And, we'll have Iowa s number soon enough.

Iowa won on the last play last year. Which means this year we should beat them just because of improvement. But if we beat Ohio State, that will get so much more national attention, and respect.

Duh!! It's not just about the west, it's about the whole conference. Take down the current king and recruiting will skyrocket.

If we get OSU, then Iowa should not be a tougher win. Besides, who cares about Iowa?

Losing to Iowa would be a worse loss then losing to Ohio State.

the road to Indy goes through IC, in this case for Iowa, the Ditch Chickens will be greeted in Lincoln, time to start taking control of the West. GBR!!

I agree beat Iowa meet OSU and beat them in the Championship if I have to make a choice. Beat them both no discussion.

Iowa is the stepping stone to Ohio State. Tired of hearing them pipe up in this border town.

1. Wins in the division mean a lot more that cross division wins. 2. On 11/29, Iowa is likely one of the teams in the B1G west battling for the division title. 3. I live 2 mile from the Iowa border.

this is a no brainer answer...... Iowas in our division, A loss to Ohios St doesn't hurt as bad because they are normally ranked higher and in a different division and we play earlier in the year.

Nebraska needs to get back to the level where we don't even talk about beating teams like Iowa each year. This game should become an automatic "W" each year for the Huskers.

Absolutely nauseated by the string of losses to the Hawkeyes. At least Pellini could beat them. Can stomach one more loss to OSU for now.

Beating Ohio State sounds pretty, but knocking off Iowa is MUCH more important for bowl game aspirations.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

We simply don't have the level of talent needed to reach the playoff. Achieving more wins that last year is a more realistic goal.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture
