if you go back and look the Big 8 was pretty good some of those years. In 1995 Nebraska played a really good schedule including 10-2 Kansas, Kansas State, and Colorado. They all dominated out of conference and only lost games to the other elite programs in the Big 8 that year.

Nebraska is definitely #1.
USC played a shite schedule nearly every year that run occasionally playing a powerhouse here and there. Bama hadn't gone undefeated any year since then, but Jesus, USC had all those HTWs cause they had blue blood ballers playing under a cocky arse coach who ran up the score every game. There might be a little bias in these statements but Alabama is clearly above USC just by sheer observation of strength of schedule.

The question is since the 80's...
Some of you are really young but for those of us who remember and have first hand knowledge...
Nebraska was consistently overrated in the 80's - always ranked in the Top 5 playing a weak schedule...and then losing in their bowl game against a top opponent.
From 1980 - 1994 Nebraska lost 10 Bowl games.
10!!!!
Then they sold out...went for a hot 3 year run when Oklahoma flamed out and went into the tank...and their only competition was a rising Colorado program.
Then Nebraska has sucked this past decade.
So in the last 30 years...3-4 years of a dominant run...doesn't really make a 3 decade long GOAT dynasty.
Sorry, young ones.

Thanks for looking at more of the picture. If you're going to compare dynasties, you must compare "the game" and the competition.
