CBS Sports ranked the top 68 coaches in college football for the 2025 season. Matt Rhule and the Nebraska football program were represented on the list, with the coach coming in at 32nd overall.
Rhule and the program are looking for a bigger 2025 campaign after finishing last season 7-6. They won the Pinstripe Bowl, which was an achievement for the program, as they had not won a bowl game since 2016.
After finishing 5-7 in 2023 and 7-6 in 2024, the program looks to take a big leap, aided by freshmen and transfers on both sides of the football. Tom Fornelli broke down why he put Rhule in the 32nd spot.
“Rhule’s Nebraska was able to cross a bowl game off the to-do list last year, but he still fell three spots in our rankings. After all, there’s a difference between 6-6 bowl eligibility and 8-4, so you’ll have to forgive some of our voters if they weren’t overly impressed with Rhule’s sophomore season in Lincoln.”
Rhule is known for making third-year leaps in his previous stops at Temple and Baylor. Huskers could be poised to make the jump as well with a favorable schedule.
