What’s REALLY Going On With the CFP Format, Matt Rhule’s Timeline, and Nebraska Baseball’s Quiet Push?
Every week, McKewon drops nuggets in his mailbag that seem innocent enough… but if you read between the lines, there’s more going on. Let’s dig in. ️♂️
1. The “Perfect” CFP Format? Or a Setup?
You’re being told the 12-team College Football Playoff is the answer to everything — more teams, more money, more excitement. But is that the real reason for the change? Look closer. The new format favors power conferences (hello, Big Ten and SEC) and leaves others clawing for scraps. Coincidence? Or is this consolidation of power exactly what TV execs and conference commissioners wanted all along? Don’t be surprised when the same handful of teams keep showing up, just with a shinier bracket.
2. Rhule’s Real Plan for Nebraska?
Everyone’s focused on Year 2 of the Rhule rebuild, but McKewon hints at something deeper: these next two years aren’t just about wins — they’re about survival. Rhule has a window, and he knows it. The roster’s young, the Big Ten’s getting tougher, and patience is thin in Lincoln. If Nebraska doesn’t show real progress by 2026… don’t expect everyone to be smiling in Memorial Stadium. Rhule’s betting big on development — but what if the growth curve flattens?
3. Nebraska Baseball’s Under-the-Radar Push ⚾️
No one’s talking about it… yet. But behind the noise of football, Will Bolt’s squad is quietly making a case for an NCAA Tournament bid. They’re not flashy, they’re not loud — and that might be the point. While others are distracted, the Huskers could sneak into the postseason and catch teams off guard. Just like they like it.
There’s always more going on than what makes the headlines. Stay sharp, Husker Nation.
