re: Query: What has Nebraska done that beating them warranted OSU leap frogging LSU?

And on a side note, how long does Nebraska get to live off their past? They are a really bad program. Their recruiting sucks, they have no identity on either side of the ball. And Frost seems lost.

Whoever greenlit the move to the Big 10 should not only be fired, but banished from the state of Nebraska. And tarred and feathered, excommunicated, @metoo'd, and burned at the stake.

They waited until the program was as weak as it ever was, then pulled out and moved to a conference where there's no historical ties, and no interest in them. They can't recruit.

If they stayed in the Big 12, you likely keep North and South, and Nebraska keeps it's ID as the North favorite. And they'd have been able to weather this storm until they found the right coach, and made another run at the conference title, and then they'd be "back".

Instead they went outside their sphere at the worst time, and have firmly established themselves as about equal to Minnesota and Purdue, and WAY below Wisconsin and Michigan State, let alone Ohio State.

They've successfully killed that program, perhaps forever. None of the Big 10 player recruits consider that team a dynasty, so they don't even give a moment's thought to going there.
