The Cornhuskers‘ last appearance in the US LBM Coaches Poll was week four of the 2024 season, when they were 3-0 and ranked No. 22 in the nation. They would quickly fall out of the top 25 after losing to Illinois.
The US LBM Coaches Poll is conducted weekly throughout the regular season using a panel of head coaches at Football Bowl Subdivision schools. The panel is chosen by random draw, conference by conference, plus independents, from a pool of coaches who have indicated their willingness to participate in the American Football Coaches Association.
Head coach Matt Rhule is a member of the US LBM Board of Coaches for the 2025 season and will participate as a voter this year.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-1, 1-1) will retake the field on Saturday, Oct. 4, when they hit the road to face the Maryland Terrapins(4-1, 1-1) at SECU Stadium. Kickoff time is set for 2:30 p.m. CT on Big Ten Network.
