Nebraska's Record against Division I college opponents

Curious about Nebraska's all time records against the major conferences? Wondering if Nebraska has ever played Ohio State or Navy? Need to talk a little smack against the SEC blowhards? Fear not anymore. For more detail about Nebraska's series' against each team (including scores), click on the conference Currence conference alignments will apply, despite having changed since Nebraska played certain teams (Penn State, for example, will be included under the Big 10 conference listings).

Results vs. in-state schools such as Doane and Haskell or smaller colleges like Grinnell and Iowa Pre-Flight are not included, nor are opponents who currently do not play in Division I-A. This is meant to catalog Nebraska's records against all the major national powers and conferences at the highest level of college football and only those records.

Bowl game years are listed as the *season* in which they were played, not the calendar year. For example, the 1983 Orange Bowl (played on Jan. 1, 1983) is technically part of the 1982 season and is counted here as such. 

Updated through the end of the 2000 regular season.
