I would have loved for them to have faced a respectable OU team during this time. Their main nemesis throughout the years, sucked during the NC years. 94, 95, 97 they faced several good CO teams, Miami, TN and FL. Who else? KSU's Synder wound up with a 5-36 record against top 10 teams. Fulmer was 8-7 in bowls, and Spurrier was 6-5 in bowls. IE most of the time, with great, cough, teams both sucked when bowl time came around. Osborn did not find his way at the end, he had the luxury of the stars aligning like they did for Fulmer in 98.

In 83 passed up the tie that would have given Osborne his first National Championship went for two instead against the cocaines .

Yeah, they trounced KSU. Never you mind that Synder wound up with a 5-36 record against top 10 teams. Everytime Osborn faced Synder, it was a guaranteed win but that asswipe, alcoholic on the NEB sideline (Frank Solich) did manage to lose to Synder while NEB was ranked in the top 10. 2019: Solich still has but 1 conference championship in 20 years of head coaching.

This was a damn good Nebraska team, and they WOULD have beaten Michigan had they played. Tough game? Sure, but Nebraska had a way better offense than Michigan, and their special teams were fantastic.

[@robjohnson8861]

You've heard it a zillion times. Defense wins games. * Mi had the #1 defense, Neb #4. plus * Mi SOS was 38, Neb 45. Neb played weaker teams and therefore their offensive stats were better. * Head to head against CO, Michigan won by 24, Neb by 3. Same against Baylor. MI did not allow a score in either. * Neb got the luxury of facing Manning. When it mattered, he didn't. 14-13 in playoffs (60th). 1 TD drive in both super bowls. Manning had 134 yds against Neb, The two games before, A&M had 264, CO had 362 yds. Avg was 189. Manning couldn't even cover the avg. The AP poll got it right and that is hard to say bec what a goober Lloyd Carr was.

@@markstepanekii388 I said 1 game. The OU game is another that I know about, but LOL, all I needed was 1 to create reasonable doubt. But, it wasn't where the big hand and little hand were on Osborne's watch that mattered, it was the diff in the score. He could have pulled Frost out much earlier and reinserted him if needed. If you want to go, the Scott needed the reps route, then the same could be said about Greise, right? Also, there is the issue of start times. In 97 and, most of the games, Ozzy got to start games several hours later than MI. Sidebar: What do most coaches do if they win the overtime coin toss? They defer bec they want to see what the other team does. Ozzy got to see how many points MI and other midwest and east teams were scoring before he thought it safe to let up. Remember, he knew that that most of teams he had played his entire tenure were not respected, so diff in score was his only way to confuse the voters. Think, Neb95, where blah, blah, blah, "the closest score was 14 pts" cough (over a sorry Cougar team) blah, blah, blah. You lose.

[@robjohnson8861]

Can you reassess a team's place in history based on events that occured after the team ceased to exist? Absolutely. Yes, Bill Synder was ranked in the top 20 during the times he faced Osborn but his horrible record against all Top 10 teams his entire career (5-36) does not speak to Osborn's greatness in beating KSU, it speaks to how bad Bill Synder was when playing top 10 teams. Another reason the AP got it right and awarded MI the NC for 1997. KSU (under Synder) was a joke when they played top tier teams. Two of those 5 wins came against that ass wipe big lame Bob Stoops. All those very good teams and 1 NC in 17 years.

Actually USC finished the year 11-2 in 2002 and trounced Iowa in the Orange Bowl so I would consider that a win over a top 10 program. It doesnt matter if they were ranked number 11 when KState played them. Its how you finish in the final rankings. Plus KState almost always showed up in big time games under Snyder. There is no reason for KState to hang their heads at all after this performance against Nebraska.

@@alexkain8564 The stat is a game time stat. You said "KState almost always showed up in big time games under Snyder" Really?

Or 1999. #7 KSU played a 4 loss UNRANKED Wa team in the bowl and won by 4. Is that a big time game, or big time results? I only looked at 2 and said enuf. Neither game above was big time.

Those were Holiday Bowls and the stadiums were full of people plus ESPN covered both of those games. So yes I would say that those were big time games. KSU won both of those too.
