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.

I don't think you understand what's being asked.

90% of your post is correct except for this part. They weren't just good from 1994-1997. Their run actually lasted from 1993-2001. They won three national championships, played in five national championship games, and was one loss away from playing for two more national titles (1996, 1999). They finished in the top 10 eight times in nine years from 1993-2001. That's really impressive.
