Projected seed: 1
Nebraska’s résumé justifies a high seed because its best moments are wins away from home and on neutral floors — road victories at Illinois and Ohio State and neutral-site triumphs over Oklahoma, New Mexico and Kansas State, along with a signature home win over Michigan State, show the team can beat quality opponents in the settings the committee prizes. The most damaging result is a narrow defeat at Michigan, which introduces some doubt but does not negate a body of work defined by signature wins and consistent road success. Upcoming chances against Illinois and Purdue at home and road tests at USC, UCLA and Iowa give Nebraska clear opportunities to reinforce its resume while routine conference games preserve its standing.
