Is Nebraska ... overrated?

I couldn't remember who coached them but I knew they had an amazing run. UW Whitewater, where my daughter now attends college, is a legit D-3 power. But even they are no Augustana from the eighties and nineties.
Bob Reade record at Augustana was 146-23-1. Prior to that he coached at Geneseo High School in Illinois. His record there was 146-21-4.
Yes, he was a very good coach.
 
Whenever you see or hear a Bug Eater die hard bloviating about past century glories always remind them that if we're judging past performance Minnesota has more national cred than Nebraska...
 
I would go
Iowa
Wisconsin
Purdue
Northwestern
Minnesota
Nebraska
Illinois
That doesn't take into account schedule.
But if all those played the same schedule, I think it would shake out about like this.
The top 6 are almost interchangeable. Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin have to be considered as prime contenders also.
