Can Nebraska win eight games? (It's not THAT crazy) | Can Ole Miss make the College Football Playoff

We continue our deep-dive series into college football teams for 2024 with Nebraska and Ole Miss. Fanduel dropped a ton of season win totals on us recently, and that gives us a great excuse to examine the schedules of different programs as they enter a season of drastic change in the sport.

Before we get to the Cornhuskers and Rebels, Andy breaks down the news that ESPN will continue to televise the College Football Playoff through the 2031 season.

Andy also recaps Tuesday’s hearing in a Tennessee federal courthouse between the Tennessee attorney general and the NCAA in a case involving NIL rules.

Then, Sean Callahan of On3’s Husker Online joins to discuss what on the surface appears to be an aggressive win total (7.5) for a Nebraska program that hasn’t made a bowl game since 2016. But a deeper look at the schedule shows there is definitely a chance. The question is how well quarterback Dylan Raiola will play as a true freshman, because it certainly seems as if the star recruit is in line to be the Cornhuskers’ QB1.

Next, Zach Berry of On3’s OM Spirit visits to discuss the Rebels’ win total (9.5), which doesn’t seem outrageous considering they won 10 regular-season games last season and have — at least on paper — a more talented roster this season. Can Ole Miss go over? And is that essentially the same question as “Can Ole Miss make the CFP?”
