-ESPN’s AllState Playoff Predictor puts Nebraska currently having the 21 st best odds of making the playoff---nowhere to be seen is
Oregon (!), despite the Ducks being seen as a 67% chance of beating the Huskers in Eugene
-Nebraska has an 18% chance at the playoffs, which of course means nothing on September 17 th ---but it’s relevancy and hope that the
program craves. Texas has an 87% chance currently of making the playoff, followed by Notre Dame (80%); Miami (79%); Ohio State
(74%); and Georgia (68%). The defending champs, Indiana, are just behind that pace at 63%

-Nebraska and Notre Dame announced yesterday a home-and-home football series, with Nebraska hosting the Fighting Irish in 2032,
and heading to South Bend in 2033

conference games with series in there with Arizona, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, Oklahoma State, and now Notre Dame…

-It was a much better showing from Nebraska’s defense in Week 2, with no big plays surrendered (like the very first play of the season vs.
Ohio)…was that players knowing their assignments better or a worse Bowling Green offense?
-North Dakota brings in a good passing QB and a solid offensive line, even though it’s FCS-level…what’s the challenge ahead like this Saturday?

teams to be competitive vs. the bigger schools, as seen by Southern’s 77-6 loss to Houston on Saturday
-Faulk said his team never really had a chance and was more of a preseason crash-test dummy for Houston…
