Right? I think it's safe to say that in 1958, LSU was the clear winner of the National Championship. They were 11-0. Iowa was 8-1-1. Maybe we can go back and claim a few years for ourselves if we use the Iowa formula. Give me a break. They tied Air Force and lost to Ohio St. GTFOH Iowa.
Edited: Iowa Sucks!
Damn. I was just joking. They really claim an 8-1-1 season as a National Title? Iowa really does suck!!
I guess that's the difference between blue blood Nebraska and mediocre Iowa. An 8-1-1 season Iowa claims a Natty. That record almost got T.O run out of town. Iowa sucks.
The reason why they think they deserve it because LSU beat all white teams and they weren’t integrated.
I’ve pointed out that in 1966 Orange Bowl, Bama was all white and beat Nebraska team who wasn’t for the 1965 national title..
I nominate the 1902 Nebraska Cornhuskers for a national title. No one even scored a point on that team all year.
Nebraska hired Ewald O. "Jumbo" Stiehm (1911–15, 35–2–3) to replace Cole.[36] The fiery Stiehm was subject to such frequent outbursts that the school established a women's sitting section at Nebraska Field far from the home sideline.[37] Despite his temperament, his "Stiehm Roller" teams were highly successful, winning the conference title each season and losing only two games during his five-year tenure.[31] Under Stiehm's watch, Nebraska began a school-record thirty-four game unbeaten stretch and Guy Chamberlin was named the first All-American in program history.[31] Led by Chamberlin, Nebraska finished the 1915 season undefeated, but the university declined an opportunity to play in the first Rose Bowl.[37] Stiehm, who also coached Nebraska's basketball team to three conference championships,[38] was offered $4,500 annually to take over Indiana's athletic department.[37] Despite suggesting he'd remain at Nebraska for less money, the school refused to offer him a raise and Stiehm exited with the highest winning percentage of any coach in school history.[39]
Nebraska's history of screwing up coaching decisions is why I don't have much faith in finding good ones. ^ This is just another example from the way back. Hopefully Rhule does exceptionally well and stays if he does.

If Bucknuts claim 1970 like the whorns as national title than Nebraska had more right in 1983 being #1 all year and losing on a two point conversion..
Ohio St and Texas claiming anything after losing their last game of the year is certainly something
I already miss the days when there were more conferences (and more conference champions). Hell, Nebraska was picked 8th in the Big 10 in a preseason poll this week and one local commentator proclaimed that was a "pretty good" spot.
Since when is 8th in the conference something to smile about?
Yeah, it's a tough conference too. There are some good schools in the bottom half. Washington, UCLA, Michigan State. There really aren't any slouches in this conference.
They really shouldn't count any national title before like the 60's. ND is comical.
