We will not have a Top-25 matchup between Nebraska and Indiana. The Hoosiers got bumped up from a three-way tie for No. 18 to the standalone No. 16 team in the AP Top 25. For the third week in a row, Nebraska just missed the cut. This week's AP Top 25 (Week 8) is the closest Nebraska has gotten ever since being ranked No. 22 and dropping out after the Top-25 loss to Illinois. The Huskers have been on the cusp of earning a Top-25 spot over the last two weeks and will earn it back with a win over IU.
