Who is your top ten husker teams to never win a national championship? I will have to admit that I did not watch much pre-1990s.. so I only have to go by what i've heard and seen in highlights.
1. 1999 team - maybe our best defensive unit ever (gets the nod because we avenged our only loss)
2. 1983 team - maybe our best offensive unit ever
3. 1982 team - one blown call in an early game prevented a national championship
4. 1996 team - maybe our best defensive unit ever (until Terrell Farley was kicked off the team).
5. 1993 team - refuse to lose
5. 2000 team - this team underachieved but was much better than the next season's team
6. 2001 team - this team was lucky to make the national championship but had the biggest win of the post championship era
[Here is where my lack of insight into pre-1992 kicks in... i can't fairly compare the 70s and 80s teams]
7. 2010 team- Best team of Bo's run... but Martinez went down the offense was rough at the end.
8. 2009 team- Suh's defense was great but that offense was rough.
9. 2012 team - best offense of Bo's run... Martinez, Abdullah, and a crazy streak of comeback victories before getting killed in the BIG championship.
10. 2006 team - best team of the Callahan era. Good offensive balance and a decent defense... couple crappy close losses to Texas, Oklahoma, Auburn.
