Nebraska football was ranked in the top 25 of Andy Staples’ College Football Post-Spring Rankings. They were ranked 22nd overall.
The Big Ten was well-represented in these rankings. Michigan came in at 17th overall, while Illinois came in ninth overall. Oregon finished sixth in the rankings, while Ohio State came in fifth. Penn State was the highest-ranked out of all the Big Ten teams in the poll, coming in at number four.
Unfortunately for the Huskers, they have to face the Wolverines and Buckeyes this season. Those games will come during the challenging back half of the schedule. Fortunately for Nebraska, the first half of the schedule should be a bit easier.
If anything, the only thing that’s a guarantee with these rankings is that the college football season is getting closer. It seems just like yesterday, the Huskers were ending the 2024 campaign with victory laps around Yankee Stadium. Now, they are aiming higher for 2025.
