1. Dylan Raiola to Nebraska football

This one seems easy to me. There isn't a flip or a signing that compares to Nebraska football landing five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola.

With all the depth that Georgia has in the quarterback room, including signing a top-10 quarterback in the 2024 class, the loss won't be that bad for the Bulldogs. However, it could change the face of Nebraska football. Of the top 25 scoring defenses in college football this season, the Huskers were the only one not playing in a bowl game.

That's because the quarterback play wasn't just bad -- it was atrocious. In the last four games, Nebraska football scored 13.5 points per game and turned it over 12 times. With most of the defensive starters returning, the entire offensive line expected to be back, and a bunch of young playmakers, Raiola could be the missing piece.

As Joel Klatt said on this podcast this week, Nebraska footbal could "flip this thing pretty quick." That's especially true if Raiola lives up to the hype. We should know soon enough because, after the transfer of Chubba Purdy, it seems like Raiola is destined to start for the Huskers in Week 1 vs. UTEP.
