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.

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

Ted Fuller

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances

Need a new offensive line coach

Arthur Cayette

Finally Nebraska sport writers are taking off their rose glasses and viewing the Line issues which has been growing (girth not strength) since Solich days when I saw the first fat lineman.

Robert Lloyd

Dana Holgorson doesn't know what a run first offense is. I love the aggressive nature of his offenses but we will NEVER be great without being run first. Run first and then air raid.

Patrick O'Brien

If we hadn't lost to Michigan I would have felt it was a one off. The lack of adjustments looks like a coaching issue with multiple coaches offense and defense. The offensive line is pathetic and needs an upgrade.

Joe Kuphal

Nebraska has to prove it is not the same old story…until they do by definition it is.

Jon Howser

Incompetent coaching staff, admitted out coached, the defensive coordinator didn’t even know who was playing in the second half

Joe Hegarty

Need to come up with an offensive that fits the talent we have but doubt that will happen.

No big deal. Recovery on the way

Leave these boys alone. They are going to start believing the BS and senseless criticism y'all spew.
