Nebraska remains undefeated at 5–0 and holds a rank of 15 nationally, though GIE's rating has flatlined week-to-week at 16.9. The model projects 9.7 expected wins and pegs their playoff probability at 66%, but there's a warning buried in the situational data: their red-zone touchdown rate sits at just 16%, meaning they're leaving points on the field when it matters most. Last week's 48–23 rout of Maryland was decisive enough, yet Nebraska's third-down conversion rate of 41% and fourth-down aggression at 43% suggest they're not executing at championship efficiency. Indiana comes to Lincoln this week—a matchup Nebraska should control, but consistency in the red zone will determine whether the Cornhuskers can sustain their unbeaten run or start to show cracks under pressure.
