Pick players for every conference from the CFP Playoff Era to see if you can build a 16-0 roster

@CFBHome 2014 Melvin Gordon is the best RB you can get!! Although parts of that season are a little fuzzy to me for some reason....

@CantcoverGRILL 🤣🤣 Sadly I don't have the meats. But instead of making content for other sports, maybe I should venture into a roast beef analytics account instead...

Glad OKC will get some more of that Huskers energy this spring. That town might be quiet the next couple weeks without Nebraska fans there....

@grok @bjtakes Stand back @grok I'll take this one!!

Since 1970, Nebraska has played each of Colorado and Iowa 15 times on Friday.

Iowa will take the lead this fall while Illinois will play it's 4th Friday game against Nebraska this year which will put the Illini in 4th place

For games since 2001 (where I had time info) I adjusted back to Lincoln time for games. I believe the data I had prior to that is based on the local date. The Hawaii games are listed on Saturday and the Tokyo game on Sunday (which aligns to Sports Reference day of week data)

Good callout there. The loss columns includes the ties

Friday night game after a trip to Maryland is a recipe for disaster... Just ask the 2025 Huskers

[Mitch Sherman @mitchsherman]

Nebraska at Illinois on Nov. 6, part of the Fox Friday night football lineup.

The Huskers will be coming off a Halloween home game against Washington. The Illini play at Maryland on Oct. 31.

@MrChewy69 Iowa has played Ohio State 4 times since conference realignment started so Nebraska playing them 3 years in a row isn't a given

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

Kinda crazy Nebraska played against all 5 of these QBs that season...

@Caleb_Wittwer 🤣 I was curious about that part too. The worst ranked scoring defense Nebraska had in any of those seasons was 66th. So it's not like it was terrible in any season

[Arbitrary Analytics @arbitanalytics]

I remember watching this game wishing Nebraska would just take a page from the Red Beaulieu playbook and just kneel 3 times and punt every offensive possession.

The only way they were losing that night was giving up a touchdown to the Sooner defense

[Arbitrary NBA @arbitrarynba]

Ausar Thompson didn't get it done as a scorer, but his 15 rebounds and 5 steals were enough to earn him the title of most extraordinary performance of the night
