What's Happening?
The Nebraska Cornhuskers have been ranked 30th in RJ Young's Ultimate 136 college football rankings for 2025. Under Coach Matt Rhule, the team is showing promise with quarterback Dylan Raiola leading the offense. Raiola set freshman program records last season, and the team is looking to build on their recent bowl game appearance. With strategic coaching and player development, Nebraska aims to compete for championships in the Big Ten Conference.
Why It's Important?
Nebraska's ranking signifies a potential resurgence for the program, which has struggled since moving to the Big Ten. The team's progress under Rhule could restore its reputation as a powerhouse in college football. Success in the upcoming season could enhance recruitment efforts, increase fan support, and boost the university's athletic profile. The Cornhuskers' performance will be closely watched as they aim to return to national prominence.

What's Next?
Nebraska faces a schedule with only two preseason top 25 opponents, providing an opportunity to achieve a strong record. The team will focus on leveraging Raiola's skills and developing a balanced offensive strategy. Continued improvement could lead to a College Football Playoff appearance, marking a significant milestone for the program.
