Does Nebraska play today? College football schedule for Cornhuskers' next game after Week 7 open week
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are having an electric run this season under the leadership of freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola. The Cornhuskers, who ended their 2023 season with a 5-7 overall record, have five wins in their first six games this season.
As the league enters its second half, things will only get spicier, with teams looking to up their games and become serious CFP contenders. As, all eyes are on Nebraska this season, let's dive into who they face next.
Do the Nebraska Cornhuskers play today?
The Nebraska Cornhuskers won't be playing today, as they are enjoying a bye in Week 7. However, their focus will be to prepare for their big matchup in Week 8. Next up, the Cornhuskers have a faceoff against No. 18 Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Memorial Stadium, Bloomington.
Can the Cornhuskers make it to the college football playoff this season?
If the Cornhuskers continue their winning streak, there’s a good chance they might make the playoffs. Nebraska, who was ranked as high as No. 22 in Week 3, is unranked despite its 28-10 win against Purdue and 14-7 win against Rutgers in the last two weeks.
However, the team is on the verge of breaking back into the rankings. A lot will depend on the Cornhuskers' next two games against highly ranked teams: No. 18 Indiana and No. 2 Ohio State. If they win both, the Cornhuskers could become unstoppable.
However, they have only faced one top-25 team so far, Illinois, losing in a nail-biting 31-24 finish. These next two games will be a challenge, but Nebraska has the potential to pull off a major upset as it looks like a completely different team this season.
