Nebraska to play SEC team in latest USA TODAY Sports bowl projections

USA TODAY Sports sees a rematch for Nebraska in the latest bowl game projections . The Huskers are now projected to face No. 16 Tennessee in the Music City Bowl. Nebraska and the Volunteers clashed in the 2016 Music City Bowl, where Tennessee toppled the Huskers, 38-24. Nebraska then entered its bowl-game drought, not reaching another postseason game until the 2024 Pinstripe Bowl. The Huskers reemerge for their week following a 5-2 start to the season. Nebraska dropped its last two games, surrendering fourth-quarter leads to then-No. 7 Indiana and Oregon .
