You must not be very old to not have one of the Nebraska teams in your top 5...my top 2 would have both of 'em:
1a. 1971 Nebraska: The only team to ever beat the #2, #3, and #4 teams (from the final AP poll). Twice it faced the #2 rated team during the season (Oklahoma & Alabama). Won one of the best games I've ever watched, the Game of the Century, 35-31 against Oklahoma that year. Walked all over Bama for the championship in the Orange Bowl.
1b. 1995 Nebraska: Destroyed practically every team they played. Trailed only once all season. Beat 4 teams that finished in the top 10 by an average of 31 points. Trounced a previously undefeated Florida team that ruled the SEC that season in the championship game.

I've heard the '95 Nebraska team was dominant. That was a little before I started following CFB though.
That '99 Nebraska team was superb. I remember they almost jumped Virginia Tech in the BCS even though they had a loss because VT played in the weak east and the Big 12 was a powerful conference. Yeah, that would have been a great title game. FSU vs. Huskers

1995 Nebraska
quote:
The Cornhuskers scored 638 points (53.2 per game) while only allowing 174 (14.5 per game). Their average margin of victory was 38.6 points, and their lowest margin of victory, against Washington State, was 14 points. They are regarded by many as the greatest college football team of all time.
quote:
Nebraska won the final Big Eight Conference football championship in 1995, as the league expanded to form the Big 12 Conference the following season. The Cornhuskers successfully defended their national championship by beating Florida in the Fiesta Bowl 62–24.
