I got a wild hair and thought, heck, let’s see what three popular AI platforms predict Nebraska’s final 2026 record to be. Let’s take a look. The results might surprise you… or they might not.
GEMINI: 7-5
Gemini predicted that Nebraska would finish 7-5 after starting 5-0. They then would lose to Indiana, where it predicted we would blow it late with our own mistakes. Following that would be another loss to Oregon that doesn’t sound particularly close. The blackout game against Washington is a win, before dropping three of the final four to Illinois, Ohio State, and… Iowa.
GROK: 8-4
Grok says we also start 5-0, and while it predicts we lose to Indiana, it noted that Colandrea could make enough plays to be a spoiler and get the upset. Hello. Sadly, Grok said even a “good Nebraska team” (whatever that means) would lose to Oregon, Indiana, and Ohio State every year. Downer.
CHATGPT: 7-5
ChatGPT thinks we also start 5-0. We then lose four straight. We then beat Rutgers, lose to Ohio State, but hey — we then beat Iowa.
So, what do you all think? Does this seem close to what you think — 8-4 or 7-5? That win over Iowa sure would be nice, but I would like to see that happen and finish 8-4 or better.
