Although the Big Ten Conference has not held an official preseason poll since 2010, Cleveland.com has polled sports journalists representing all member schools as a de facto preseason media poll since 2011. In the 2019 poll, Nebraska was projected to win the West Division.
The 2019 schedule consisted of seven home and five away games in the regular season. Nebraska hosted conference foes Ohio State, Northwestern, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa and the Cornhuskers traveled to play Illinois, Minnesota, Purdue and Maryland in Big Ten play.
