season at Millard South. Taylor is listed as a 4-star prospect and the No. 5 QB in the class of 2027

-It’s not difficult to negative recruit Nebraska right now with the level of fan anger at Matt Rhule and company…and that might be why

– B1G Football fans don’t believe in any sort of playoff success for Husker football over the next 5 years…can Nebraska escape the doubt and pessimism? May 07, 2026

Show notes

-The Athletic’s Scott Dochterman surveyed readers who are B1G followers and asked how likely is it for each school to win the CFP over

the next 5 years, and just 3.7% of the respondents think Nebraska is likely to do so in that span of time

-It was interesting to see the thoughts on the rest of the conference—several schools believe they have absolutely zero shot, which is

probably true---but it does tell you where schools think they are now and where they will be going forward
