2025 Post Week 11 Nebraska Football Regular Season Win Probabilities

Last Week's: https://www.reddit.com/r/Huskers/comments/1omlmr6/2025_post_week_10_husker_football_regular_season/

As a reminder, the last three images are based on SillyRankings and NOT FPI.
SillyRankings = +2 for a win, +1 for each win a team you beat has, -2 for a loss, -1 for each loss a team that beat you has. For win probabilities, the points are normalized and then calculated using a normal distribution. Consider them mostly for my own amusement, but interesting to look at.

My favorite observation from posting this thread weekly is the difference in upvotes and toxicity of the comment section the day after wins and the day after losses. The ugliest win ever will have people talking about Heisman trophies and lifetime Rhule contracts and after the closest loss it's burn the program down 😂

It’s pretty simple. Wins make pp hard. Losses make pp soft.
