I know this excites everyone (especially @admo), but ESPN has their first guess of the offseason out.

Huskers are a 5 seed in Omaha playing High Point.

The real question is when do you have to have your brackets submitted? Before the 12(!!!) play-in games or before the round of 64?

I always have mine done before Tuesday, but a lot of people don't. It will come down to what ESPN & CBS do with their online bracket games.

ESPN has updated their way too early bracket guess with the expansion to 76 teams. Huskers are a 6 seed in Spokane playing either Arizona State or Clemson in the West Region.

ESPN Guess 5/7/26

CBS has also put out a 76 team bracket. Huskers are a 7 seed in the South Region, would play Creighton.

They have North Carolina higher seeded than Nebraska. I know it's super early but I'd be willing to bet money that that doesn't come to fruition.
