People want Nebraska left out or kicked out because they have won anything in 20-30 years, yet it has been 40+ for USC. You don't see an inconsistency there?
Um...what? From 2002-2008, USC was the dominant power in college football. They finished in the Top 5 every single year of that run. They've also had good seasons interspersed throughout since Pete Carroll left, most recently in 2017 when they went 11-3 and won the Pac-12.
Nebraska, on the other hand, hasn't won a conference championship since 1999.

They won championships in 2003 and 2004. the 2004 championship was vacated due to the Reggie Bush cheating scandal. Bush played in 2003, too, so it should have been vacated, also. I mean, 2003 was his first season. The inducements he and his family received were received to get him to attend USC.
So, yes. They had some really good seasons that were made possible by cheating. They even got caught and punished for it. The championship they got before the vacated ones went all the way back to 1978. So no. You'll have to excuse me if I do not consider championships won by cheating as legitimate.

I missed the Nebraska part of your post. Sorry.
Nebraska has won legitimate National Championships in 1995, 1996 and 1998 not to mention 1970 and 1971. Legit national Championships mean more than Conference Championships for me.
Again. USCs last legit National Championship was 1979.
now if you want to make conference championships more important, then maybe Georgia should be considered a Blue Blood.
Also consider if we wipe out USCs 2003 and 2004 years because of cheating (which we should) then they had 4 really good years where they finished in the top 5....very similar to what Georgia is doing right now.
I would not claim that Georgia is dominating college football based on that, though.
