We are now 75% done with the non-conference portion of the schedule, and while it's still VERY early, winning these games do have implications for every team's end-of-season win total. Iowa and Northwestern, for instance, have set themselves up nicely for 8+ win seasons. Nebraska, on the other hand, has increased their odds of winning fewer than 8 games after two absolutely brutal losses in the first three weeks. Again, it's still early, and injuries/bad luck/whatever can still happen and fortunes can reverse. But, as it stands now, teams that have started 3-0 are siting better than teams sitting 1-2.
