Nebraska Football Eyes Return to Form in 2025
After a lengthy drought in conference victories, Nebraska football is poised for a resurgence in the Big Ten as the 2025 season approaches. The Cornhuskers, who have not won more than three Big Ten games since 2016, are projected by the KFord Ratings to have a solid chance of breaking this trend.
In the upcoming season, Nebraska will host formidable opponents including Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, USC, and Iowa. The Huskers will also face tough away games against Maryland, Minnesota, UCLA, and Penn State. Historical performance against these teams reveals a challenging landscape, but optimism is palpable given the projected chances of success: a 97% likelihood of achieving at least three wins, an 88% chance for four, and a 66% chance for five wins. Buchman’s ratings show a 13% potential for seven wins and a slim 2% for eight.
Head coach Matt Rhule and his players are eager to build on their recent success, having made a bowl appearance last year for the first time since 2016. Though they tied for 12th in the conference standings with a 3-6 record in 2024, there is a renewed sense of hope among fans and the team alike. Nebraska’s last significant conference success came way back in 2012, and they haven’t seen the glory of eight conference wins since Tom Osborne’s final season in 1997.
The projected standings indicate Nebraska is likely to finish eighth in the league, behind teams like Ohio State and Oregon. However, with a new season on the horizon, the Cornhuskers are determined to turn predictions into performance and reclaim their place in the competitive landscape of Big Ten football.
