There are two non-exclusive ways for Nebraska football to make the college football playoff. First, improve enough from 2024 to win enough games to be in consideration for the playoff. Second, get your athletic director on the college football playoff committee.
Well now we know for sure that Nebraska has accomplished the second of the two as it was announced today that Troy Dannen has been appointed to the CFP Selection Committee.
Along with Dannen, Jeff Long, who was the long time athletic director for Kansas among others, was also appointed.
Nebraska can now sleep peacefully at night knowing it no longer has to get better at football to make the CFP.
