I see no reason they will be winning multiple conference champions, or a random NC other than they are "Nebraska". OU hasn't won in a long while and they've got a great coach, impeccable recruiting, and a tradition every bit as good as NU's.
OU won a title this decade along with 6 (?) B12 titles.
Only 2 schools this decade have repeated as MNC champs, LSU & Florida.
You can rise just as quick as you fall. With the turmoil in Lawrence, Booger gone in Columbia and Snyder building us back up (which is still 3 years away IMO) - winning 9 games, making the B12 title game (which COULD happen this year) and realistically being 1 win away from a BCS Bowl, it's already there but some of us (you) don't want to recognize it.
The worst part about UNL for the B12 North division is the hiring of Osbourne as AD. He will assure they are back year in and year out and that doesn't bode well for the rest of us. I like our chances with Snyder but you have to realize NU is very close to being a 9-1 team sitting around the top 10 in the BCS standings. Thankfully for us, they pissed 2 games away.
I have no clue if Mark Pelini is the one for them but the dude scares the turd out of me with his defensive mind. No matter where he's been, he's been very successful and has been involved in some phenomenal programs (NFL and NCAA).
We have a huge opportunity to become top ring in the North. We all know Snyder won't be around forever so once he gets this baby turned around - it will be time for him to pass the reigns to someone special (who that is, I have no clue)

and not wait for something negative to happen.
Can't wait for

season.
