Nebraska Cornhuskers Seek Bowl Eligibility in Final Games

The Nebraska Cornhuskers maintain their bowl projections despite a 21-17 loss to Ohio State, with the latest predictions suggesting a matchup against Syracuse in the Pinstripe Bowl. Currently at 5-3, Nebraska faces significant challenges in their remaining games against Iowa, UCLA, USC, and Wisconsin, with head coach Matt Rhule emphasizing the importance of mindset over results. The team's offensive and defensive struggles, particularly in passing defense, pose threats to their bowl eligibility. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma Sooners are looking to end their three-game losing streak against Maine, needing just two more wins to secure bowl eligibility. Oklahoma's current trajectory resembles their struggles from the late 1990s, creating concerns about missing a bowl game for the first time since 1998. As the season progresses, both teams must address their weaknesses to improve their postseason prospects.
