Well we had fallen off the national radar for the two wins you mention and neither of those probably mattered to anyone outside of our fan base..the game we're talking about here, if memory serves, we were #1 or 2? I remember ESPN stating the road to the national title goes through Lincoln Nebraska that year...Unless somebody can point out a big win since I am forgetting, this game gets the nod from me as the last big and important game (win) that registered on the richter scale for all of the CFB world.
