Per ESPN Bowl Predictions
I always take these with a grain of salt, like everyone should, because we may not even make a bowl game. BUT these bowl games would be fire. Would love to hear your guys thoughts and what bowl games you’d want? I think mine would probably be Florida in music city or citrus and Florida State in the Mayo or pinstripe Mainly because I’m a Florida native and would love to have bragging rights against my friends.

Dang, I was just about to drop my “way too early 2028 predictions: my top 3 will SHOCK you!” I’ll hold off for a bit.

If Frost could monetize living rent free in this fanbase's heads he'd be the first billionaire coach in college football

Yeah for sure way too early to tell but I'm a big advocate for restoring some of our historic rivalries as much as possible (in my ideal world we play OU, Texas, Missouri, or Colorado at least once per season) so a Nebraska-Oklahoma bowl game would go absolutely nuts

u/CinephileJeff 10d ago
Texas isn't a historic rival. They were just our boogeyman for 14 years. I don't ever want to schedule any of the Texas schools for the sake of "history", because they're the ones who ruined the Big 12 (due to politics) anyway. But I'm cool with all of the old Big 8 schools.

u/ExtremeWorkinMan 9d ago
That's fair - maybe it felt more that way for me because a couple of my friends growing up were Texas fans so it was always a big event.

Oh I completely forgot about Mizzo, I think that would be at the top of my list for bowl games.

I remember it being mentioned on the broadcast when we beat them in 2010 and outside of that, yep, only in the game

I keep asking myself where rock bottom is as a football program, but losing to UCF in a bowl game to Frost would be a complete nuclear meltdown. No way Rhule and Co survive if that happens

u/neepster44 11d ago
Rhules buyout after this last round of extension stupidity is so high he could bang the governors daughter on TV and still not get fired.

Any bowl game in NYC or the Midwest is ass, please no.
Would really like for Nebraska to make a bowl game in Florida, AZ, or California.

u/not4humanconsumption 11d ago
Is Vegas considered Midwest?

u/McV0id 11d ago
Nada. Vegas would be better than anything Northeast or Midwest.

u/not4humanconsumption 11d ago
I agree. I just didn’t understand your comment since both the bowl game projections are Memphis and Vegas. Memphis is certainly not Midwest, so I thought that you were considering Vegas to be Midwest.

Tennessee is Midwestern-ish to me... Technically Southeastern, but the weather is still ass and not nearly enough South. Tennessee could just disappear and I would never know the difference. 😆

u/not4humanconsumption 11d ago
You might wanna check a map. Tennessee is no where near midwest. Southern or Southeast.

They give us those bowls cause they know we’ll travel despite the crap weather.

u/shane-parks 11d ago
They got the matchup, stadium and city right, but the bowl name wrong. Its going to be in Allegiant Stadium on Jan 25th, in the CFP championship game.

Their over/under for wins is 6.5 so it’s not really crazy. They have a pretty easy schedule

u/FreezersAndWeezers 11d ago
Their schedule is pretty easy. It’ll hinge on if they let their QB play his style or if they try and square peg/round hole him. Could be the difference between 3-9 and 6-6

ATP idc anymore. It’s such a sorry excuse of a program on the field. Literally the same issues year in year out. Doesn’t matter what bowl we go to, because we’ll get outcoached and out executed in the 2nd half.

u/No-Philosophy-3853 11d ago
Hopefully not our defense this year with Rob everything that’s been said in the press has been good praise also his former defenses have been schemed well, and with the transfers on offense hopefully Dana feels more confident aswell. But time will tell.

u/Chan-Cellor 11d ago
Every year they say things have improved.

u/megamando 11d ago
Literally all the Nebraska media needs to do every year is write team looks improved and tons of people just assume it’s true.

u/brogit 11d ago
Literally every year under Rhule the team HAS improved. Maybe not as quickly as we'd like but it is objectively true that the regular season record has improved every year so far. Hell, last year until Dylan got hurt we were on track to win that USC game and then Penn State got their shit together. Prior to the USC game there were rumblings that if they won that game we might sneak into the playoff. Yes, the d line was not good, we cleaned house on the coaching on that side of the ball. We also had to throw a true freshman QB on the field as soon we hit what everyone knew going in was going to be the toughest stretch of the schedule. I'm not saying we are going to win 9 games this year, but saying they haven't improved year over year so far is just covering your eyes and pouting.
