Scarlet Overkill Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Does 1995 ring a bell? Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 99 FSU and 96 Florida, lol. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 This has already been settled. See Kirk Herbstreit crying like a little girl on espn after fans vote the 95 and 71 NU teams as the two best ever and 95 taking the cake. Quote Link to comment
cb1954 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Does 1995 ring a bell? Yes, they should be #2 on the list. I saw them both play (1971 & 1995 Huskers) Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Like how a Florida newspaper is trying to split the NU vote with '71 and '95 and only one of the other schools. j/k I know they are the two best of all time, arguably. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 95 skers should win this in a landslide. Quote Link to comment
husker_99 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I would say the 1995 team is better than the 1971 team. the 95 team absolutely destroyed Florida and then next year Florida would win the title. The Big 8 conference was stronger at that time. played more ranked opponents. Stat wise superior in every way. Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 1971 Nebraska should be third on that Quote Link to comment

The Big 8 conference was stronger at that time. played more ranked opponents. Stat wise superior in every way. In 1971 the Big 8 was 7-3 vs ooc teams ranked at game time. In 1995 the Big 8 was 5-1-1 (including bowl games) In 1971 Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado finished ranked #s 1-2-3 in the final AP poll done after the bowl games. In 1971 Nebraska destroyed Alabama in what would be the NC game played in the Orange Bowl, Alabma did not win the NC the next year but finished 10-2, with both losses to teams ranked in the final top 5 (AP) The stas were very close fot the 2 seasons, check the link.

My link Good stats. But ultimately i think that manhandling Florida and then having them win it the next year would put the 95 team over the 71 even though they played in the Game of the Century. Plus Weurffel won the heisman that year(1996). Plus they didn't lose to an SEC team and only to FSU who they rematched and whipped them. To me atleast looks a little more impressive.

jsneb83 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Also, the closest game the Huskers had in '95 was 14 points to Washington St. and even in that game Nebraska dominated the entire game. The only reason it was so close was because they fumbled like 3 times in the red zone. Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I am shocked that this tally hasn't risen to 30mil yet. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Someone needs to bot this thing so the 71 and 95 teams runaway with it. Quote Link to comment
