Before the season
Nebraska was coming off of yet another very successful season, coach Bible having won his third league championship in four years, and the program had taken four of the last five conference titles. The Cornhuskers were on a roll and were beginning to look unstoppable at any time in the foreseeable future.
After the season
Once again Nebraska was on top of the Big 6, with five of the last six league titles now owned by the Cornhuskers. Despite the one loss to a Pittsburgh team that was ranked #4 nationwide at the end of the season, the same Dickinson System ranking that gave the Panthers their high ranking also determined that Nebraska was the #2 team nationwide at the conclusion of the season, the one loss to Pitt costing Nebraska what would have been their first National Championship. Coach Bible's career record at Nebraska after five years was now improved to 31-8-6 (.756). Nebraska's overall program record improved to 251-82-26 (.735) while the perfect 1933 conference record moved the Cornhuskers to 74-10-8 (.848) in league play.
