***This is a fun, unique situation - a literal tie for 4th place.  Who would have been included?  Excluded?  Would either put up a fight vs the Huskers?  
-
-
So who would/should be the 4 seed?  Would Nebraska drill either?  Would N'Western keep pace with the Gators?  Who wins it all???
Tennessee should have been in over the Bucks - because John Cooper  Neither would put up a fight vs the Huskers
Northwestern wouldn't keep pace with the Gators
Huskers win it all.  Drilling both opponents.

Jesse Kosch was the punter.  He was a storm chaser and weather enthusiast.   Jesse and his Dad, a DB in the early 70s, they have 5 mnc rings.  I think he runs a Nebraska merch.store in Colorado now.
Kosch does own a Big RED store in Colorado.  My brother stopped there and bought a shirt for me.

The most overlooked aspect of that squad, IMO, was its near-perfect design from the philosophical POV. The synergy between the offensive and defensive schemes, and the personnel that executed them, was superb. The special teams ensured that, even if an opponent found some crease of success, they were almost always facing a long field…or Nebraska was facing a short one. Turnovers and penalties were few and far between, which did not provide opponents with much opportunity for cheap points, yardage or first downs. 

That team applied pressure in every aspect of the game, and just didn’t let opponents breathe.

Was that the year of the rainstorm?
Nope, that was the following year @ Knoxville.  35-0 Florida, with 9:00 remaining in the 2nd quarter, lol.

Oh. For this exercise voters are asked to ignore the Bowl games. Thus your data point is not relevant.
...and so Florida was thought to be Nebraska's equal and you have them losing to Northwestern as well.  
Contrarian - silly internet person going the opposite way for no damn reason.  Blah blah, grrrrr, yawn.  Rinse.  Repeat.

That's all well and good, but you don't have to dig that deep.  If you average 7 yards per carry for an entire season, you aren't going to lose.

If Biakabutuka went for 300+ vs OSU, what would the Huskers do?

hah, if Frazier didn't win the Hypesman, it should have been the best back in the Big Ten, Timmy

He was hurt that day, too.  Some kind of leg injury.  Pffft, go out and bust 300 yards out on the rival and ruin their season.  No biggie.
