We have a stud QB and big name Defensive coordinator. Think 2003 but with a better offense. That and someone had to vote over here.

At this point it would require a miracle. Too many pieces of the puzzle missing.

Nebraska needs a unique offense and a tough defense. Not a vanilla prostyle offense.

Riley has yet to win anything of value as a head coach in American football. I would be surprised if his regular season record at Nebraska after 2018 is 29-19 or better.

I really think the current coach Riley is too comfortable with losing. He is a great person, and is knowledgeable, but a winner wins - look at what Harbaugh has done at Michigan in the same mount of time. We will see.

Because we get out-recruited year after year. NU is just another team these days. The sellout record is all that's left of a once great program. That will end soon as well.

The good news is Neb always has the schedule to win a national championship. But they must stop doing the same things in terms of recruiting, facilities, and coaching expecting different results. I love their recruiting now but there are many facits to success.

I feel we are headed in the right direction, but we will need 2-3 years to get there. I expect only 7-9 wins this coming season.

we might compete in some years, and fall off in other years. to me elite means year in and year out, and that won't ever happen. fan base and admin won't allow for a 25 year tenure in coaching any more....

It's a process. We are on our way in the right direction with Riley and Co. at the helm. It all starts with the return on Blackshirt-caliber defense.

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

So tired of delusional preseason talk. How about a winning conference record and a bowl win.

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

Let's not put the cart before the horse! 7 or 8 wins maybe.

We simply don't have the level of talent needed to reach the playoff. Achieving more wins that last year is a more realistic goal.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.
