The Sporting News’ Bill Bender threw his hat into the offseason list ring this week, dropping 18 predictions for the 2018 college football season.

There’s a Nebraska-related prediction. We’ll let Bender explain:

The enthusiasm is off the charts in Lincoln with the arrival of Scott Frost — and it should be — but the road Big Ten schedules includes trips to Michigan, Wisconsin, Northwestern and Ohio State. Who made that schedule? Eight wins would be a successful season (not that Frost wants to hear that).

The Huskers are coming off a 4-8 season that ended with Mike Riley out of work. A four-game improvement would be significant, especially with a road schedule that includes games at Michigan, Wisconsin, Northwestern and Ohio State, not to mention Michigan State at home and sneaky-tough non-conference games against Troy and Colorado.

So, would 8-4 in Frost's first year be enough for Husker fans?
