I miss the bowls being important.

Jonathon Siminoe

This is the way it's always been, ever since the playoff was created it had 4 so if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Dan Janssen

Let's keep the regular season relevant

Gearld Wolff

Going to eight dilutes the regular season. How many years have there been more than three teams go undefeated? How many times have there been more than 6 even discussed as being the best in the country over an entire season?

Peter Rygol

Doesn't matter what kind of playoff or rating system is in place there will always be controversy from fans & writers who think #5 or #17 or #33 got screwed and left out of the mix. Any more teams involved will take a toll on the regular season and then the extended season. Not every kid goes on to the NFL and many are in fact students.

Too many good teams were left out.

More interest and additional teams rewarded for good seasons.

Husker Garfield

All conferences included no guessing on which 4 are better

Jay Safford

8 teams gives you a true number. The other division do it and it works great. Lets get with the times.

Donald Lee

Allows for hot teams near the end of the season.

Daniel Revas

There were legitimate Teams left out in TCU and Baylor, at least on paper. I think 4 will be a little thin if you have 5 or more unbeaten Power 5 Teams.

Peter Rygol

How many times has there been more than 2 undefeated teams at the end of the season?

Ben Swan

Simple solution... 6 Power Conference Champions (determined by their championship games) PLUS the next 2 top ranked team using BCS formula. IF their from the same conference, so be it. If they're Boise State and Fresno State, SO be it!! This is the max needed.

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

Terrence Smith

... and I hope I'm wrong.

Randy Wolf

Michigan.

VAHuskerFan

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Suicide Slush Puppie

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

Jerry Goodwin

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

Roy Katskee

They are living on borrowed time.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.

Brad Loseke

Different backs have skills for different situations.
