Conference rival vs BCS team vs non-BCS team. Not the same at all.
Nebraska fan has no desire to have a rivalry with anyone out of the top 20-25. They may not be ranked up there either but that is their goal. They just don't feel CU has been there consistantly enough to warrant their attention. Arrogant yes but it appears to be reality. In fact most feel CU belongs in the Big XII more than say Baylor but not much more.
It's sorta like comparing a 10 lb. yapping lap dog to a 120 lb. German Shepherd. The Yapper may make a lot of noise and pump itself up. It may be annoying and may irritate the Big dog, may even get in a few good licks every now and then they still feel the big dog owns the little dog whenever it wants too.
If the CU NU thing is going to become a real rivalry then NU fan will need to lower thier standards or CU will need to raise theirs.........at least in the eyes of Husker fan.
