Nebraska 1995 Schedule
Oklahoma St 4-8
Michigan St 6-5-1
Arizona St 6-5
Pacific 3-8
Washington St 3-8
Missouri 3-8
#7 Kansas St 10-2
#5 Colorado 10-2
Iowa St 3-8
#9 Kansas 10-2
Oklahoma 5-5-1

Not exactly murders row. They only played 6 teams with a winning record.

To go one step further here are the ranked wins their opponents had

Michigan St beat #17 Michigan
Arizona St beat #18 Oregon
Kansas St beat #9 Kansas
Colorado beat #15 aTm, #7 Kansas St, #18 Oregon
Oklahoma tied #14 Texas

1995 Nebraska was a very dominant team, but they really didnt face a lot of competition during the year.

2001 Miami Hurricanes
Penn St 5-6
Rutgers 2-9
Pitt 7-5
Troy St 7-4
#15 Florida St 8-4
West Virginia 3-8
Temple 4-7
#21 Boston College 8-4
#14 Syracuse 10-3
#19 Washington 8-4
#18 Virginia Tech 8-4
#8 Nebraska 11-2 (championship game)

Very mediocre schedule. Only 2 teams with more than 8 wins.

Nebraska lost to Colorado the game before 36-62, both went on to lose their bowl games.

Pitt beat #18 Virginia Tech
Florida St beat #11 Maryland, #18 Virginia Tech
Boston College beat #22 Georgia
Syracuse beat #18 Virginia Tech, #21 Boston College
Washington beat 20 Michigan #16 Stanford #10 Washington St
Virginia Tech beat #21 Boston College
Nebraska beat #6 Oklahoma (only ranked team they beat)

Miami only played 1 top 10 team all year who lost their previous game by 26 points. Their opponents only beat 2 top 10 teams all year.

LSU playing the Nebraska 1995 Schedule
#2 Clemson
#5 Oregon
#7 Oklahoma
#9 Penn St
Mississippi St would be the next best team

LSU playing the Miami 2001 Schedule
#8 Alabama
#14 Auburn
#15 Iowa
#18 Michigan
#19 Appalachian St
#21 Cincinnati
Texas A&M would be the next best team

Miami playing the LSU 2019 Schedule
#2 Orgeon
#4 Tennessee
#6 Oklahoma
#7 LSU
#8 Nebraska (this is the best team they played)
#14 Syracuse
#25 BYU
Next would be an 8-5 ATM type team

Nebraska playing the LSU 2019 Schedule
#2 Florida (played in the championship and demolished)
#4 Florida St
#6 Ohio St
#7 Kansas St (beat them regular season)
#8 Northwestern
#14 Texas
#25 Iowa
Next would be an 8-5 ATM type team which would have been their 4th best on the year.

It's easy to romanticize about the 1995 Nebraska or 2001 Miami teams, but when they are put in perspective I think the 2019 LSU team holds up.
