A look at what the computers say about the nation's top teams entering fall camp next month. ESPN's Football Power Index top 25 is always one of the most opined preseason rankings because of its wide variance in comparison to others. In 2024, however, the usual suspects are at the top of the poll with a couple bluebloods and pair of darkhorses rounding out the top 10. Compared to the 247Sports post-spring rankings, this one looks vastly different toward the back end of the poll, which reflects transfer portal additions, various roster changes and conference-title perception among contenders.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers announced another change to their coaching staff on Wednesday afternoon. Director of Player Support and Outreach Ron Brown will now coach fullbacks and returners.
A recent change to NCAA rules no longer limits the number of coaches who can be employed in an on-field role. Previously, only the head coach and ten assistants were allowed to interact with student-athletes in ‘technical or tactical instruction.’
“The Division I Council on Tuesday approved a rule change… to permit any staff member to provide technical and tactical instruction to student-athletes… during practice and competition.”
Brown has a long association with Nebraska football, having coached for the Huskers for 24 years. He served as an assistant from 1987-2003 and again from 2008-14.
The Husker coach has coached wide receivers, tight ends, and running backs during his time at Nebraska. He will transition away from his role as Nebraska’s director of player support and outreach into his new on-field role.

The casual baseball eye might not detect it, but the Los Angeles Dodgers have had a clown car full of players hit the injured list this season. At 61-42, Los Angeles leads the NL West despite nearly all their MLB starting rotation hitting the shelf at one point this season. However, on Wednesday, the Dodgers welcomed back ace Tyler Glasnow after a short IL stint, with the lengthy righty (who looks just like Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders) throwing five innings of one-run ball.

Matt Rhule has Nebraska football on track for a revival in 2024

Last season was the first year that Nebraska football had Matt Rhule as their head coach, and it didn't go as well as Cornhuskers fans hoped. In fact, it had a lot of shades of the Scott Frost era. Nebraska was a very competitive team, but they couldn't close out games and they lost a lot of close ones in the final minutes. One thing that could've helped the Cornhuskers is being better prepared for road games.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule made waves this week at Big Ten media days when he suggested the Big Ten should get four schools should get into the College Football Playoff every year. While not impossible, the likelihood of that happening is rare. However, the comments themselves were not far-fetched. The Big Ten already has three schools projected to be playoff teams, which doesn’t even include the defending national champions.
