Comparisons between Iowa and Nebraska are ridiculous.....
The
Nebraska Cornhuskers represent the
University of Nebraska–Lincoln in
college football. The program has established itself as a traditional powerhouse, and has the
fourth most all-time victories of any
NCAA FBS team and is one of only eleven football programs in NCAA Division I history to win 800 or more games.[SUP]

[9][/SUP] Nebraska claims 46 conference championships[SUP]
[10][/SUP] and five national championships:
1970,
1971,
1994,
1995, and
1997. The titles in the 1990s marked the first time since
Notre Dame in 1946-49 when a team won three national championships in four seasons. The 2011-2012 Alabama Crimson Tide, the 1994-1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers, and the 1956-1957 Oklahoma Sooners have the only consensus back-to-back national titles by Division 1-A schools.
