Nebraska football playoffs: Round 2 matchups in all eight classes

The first round is complete, and Nebraska’s football playoff field is down to eight teams in each of eight classes. Round 2 brings 32 quarterfinal games on Friday, Nov. 6. This guide gathers the assigned matchups, host teams and the kickoff times currently posted by NSAA, with a separate class preview for every bracket.

Each pairing below was reconciled with both first-round feeder results and the current NSAA bracket. No team advances because of a prediction or seed. Times marked TBA have not been posted in the source checked for this article; they are not copied from last Friday. Central and Mountain designations are retained where reported.

What the winners earn

The quarterfinal winners move into the Nov. 13 semifinals. The bracket stays connected: the first two quarterfinal games feed one semifinal, and the last two feed the other. The class previews show those paths without treating any future opponent as settled. For championship dates and confirmed sites, use the state finals schedule rather than assuming all eight classes finish at the same venue.

Before you travel

A listed host does not establish a stadium address, ticket policy or streaming arrangement. Where NSAA has not named a quarterfinal venue, the class preview leaves the site TBA. Check the linked Game Center and host school for later announcements. This is a schedule and matchup preview; the separate round live-updates article will be released only after its score-feed checks are complete.
