That 2010 Missouri team was better than any team in the poll options, and we won big.  It was also effectively a division championship game so it was more significant in that regard as well.

 

Was that the week before or after Texas?

Beating a very solid Arizona team on both sides of the ball in the 2009 Holiday Bowl might have been the most complete game of the Pelini Era, demonstrating great scheme, strategy and coaching. It created a very good vibe for Bo's third season. 

 

The  2008 win against Colorado might still be the most fun, and that counts for something. 

 

The 2011 win at Penn State just days after Paterno was fired was Bo Pelini's most impressive performance as a coach and representative of the University.

 

If you want the game that probably impressed non-Huskers the most, it's still the 2009 loss to Texas.

Ohio State 2011 is an odd choice. 

 

It was the greatest comeback in Husker history, but it came against a .500 team that dominated a lifeless Nebraska in the first half, and tanked when they lost their star quarterback in the second half. Ohio State was still a brand name, but the game meant little that year. OSU lost to Purdue a couple weeks later.

 

And if it was the best win of the Bo Pelini era, Bo Pelini sure wasn't feeling it. That was the game that resulted in Tapegate #1, where Bo went off on the fans and said he wanted out of Nebraska. I really don't miss that douchebag.

2010 Missouri.

 

Even if they weren't ranked as high, 2009 vs Missouri in the rain was a good one, too. Gave us some great pics, like the Suh-plex (crack!):
