Husker Non-Conference Schedule Offers Quality, Depth Nebraska expects to face one of the toughest regular-season schedules in school history in 2012-13. NU’s Strength of Schedule has ranked among the top 30 nationally in four of the past five seasons, and the Huskers could face a top-20 schedule in 2012-13. Six of Nebraska’s non-conference opponents won 20 or more games last season, led by Maryland’s 31. Perhaps an even stronger indicator of the depth of Nebraska’s schedule is that the Huskers will play 20 games against teams that won 18 or more games, while 12 of the Huskers’ 13 non-conference opponents Nebraska Quick Facts won at least 14 games a year ago.
