Can we tap the brakes a little on Nebraska? The Big 8/12 wasn't very good outside of them in that era.
OU and Texas were pretty much dormant those years. And when they finally got good the huskers got mad and eventually left the conference.
It was still a great run... Just sayin those teams wouldn't dominate the SEC or today's Big 12 like that.

Oh, right If OU and Texas were no good, then no other teams could be good
In 94, Colorado was #3, they beat Miami, in Miami and KSU was ranked.
In 95 Colorado, KSU and KU all finished in the top 10 and they beat Florida 62-24 in the NC game. They beat everyone by at least 2 TDs. Easily one of, if not the GOAT.
What we really need to tap the breaks on is nonsense statements like this

Just looking a conferences as a whole and crediting teams with conferences accomplishments. A team from the SEC has won the last 6 BCS titles, so we say the SEC is the best conference and it is, but teams only play 8 of 12 from the conference. Look at Bama's schedule last year. They beat 3 FBS teams with a winning record. This year their schedule doesn't look so daunting since they will only play a max of 1 good SEC East team as opposed to USCe who would play UGA, UF LSU and Bama if they get to the SEC CG. We should look at teams and who they play and not just conference affiliations.

No freaking shite. Teams 20 years ago would not dominate today because the game is so much different. Nebraska ran the triple option which isn't used much today because defenses have gotten much faster at LB and its relatively easy to stop with the right preparation. The 1992 Alabama defense was one of the nastiest, ball hawking, hard hitting, demoralizing defenses ever but today it wouldnt be as dominant because passing offenses are much more than they used to be. Spurrier changed the game when he came to Florida and gave Bama fits.
