Nebraska is number 1! The coaches voted Nebraska over Michigan by a vote of 32-30. Despite the close vote Nebraska was once again in a class of it's own this year. With their only close games at Colorado and at Missouri, Nebraska dominated all other opponents. Michigan is lucky to get a share of the title. If the associated press voted on who they thought was the best team, instead of who they wanted to be number one, the vote would have been unanimous in favor of Nebraska. I'm positive that no one can honestly say that they think Michigan could beat Nebraska. Michigan's highest scoring point total was 38 and that was on a weak Big 10 team. Nebraska scored in the 40's on the number three team in the nation. There's no question who has the better offense. As far as defense goes, I'll admit Michigan's was the best in the nation. Nebraska's was not much worse(fifth in the nation). If they played I predict the score to be: Nebraska 38 Michigan 10. I'd like to thank Tom Osborne for all the great years and one more national title.
Hopefully the program can continue it's dominance for years to come.
