Because you are evaluating things the teams controlled. In their bowl games Nebraska played:

1993 - FSU (#1) and lost by 2 points.
1994 - Miami (#3) and won
1995 - beat UF (#2) and won
1996 - Lost to VT (#9)
1997 - beat Tennessee (#3) by 25 points

Fact remains that all of those teams they played were as good as any team Bama faced.

So I looked at Regular season scheduling to evaluate it. Again, even with the 5 extra rent-a-wins, Bama's win total doesn't match Nebraska's.

nebraska beat virginia tech by 3 tis.

alabama's current run is awesome, but nebraska mid 90s was better. 3 undefeated national championship teams, and the greatest team of all time, 1995. the 95 florida team that nebraska beat by 40 is one of the greatest SEC teams of all time.
