I didn't look at it like they were disrespecting Nebraska at all. They're right. Nebraska will never be on the same level as Ohio State or Michigan. Those two programs recruit Top 20 classes when they're struggling. Nebraska hits that mark when they are on a good roll. But like I have said before, they don't need to recruit top 5 classes every year like those teams do in order to beat them and compete for a Playoff spot every now and again. I saw this quote in the article and I agree with it 100%. I have made this exact comparison to people before in conversations:
"That said, even a high No. 3 could well mean a more stable foothold on College Football Playoff aspirations. And if you want a concrete example, Huffman has a darn good one, likening Nebraska in the Big Ten to what Washington was — and is — in the Pac-12. The (Huskies) have the tradition, the support, the facilities,” Huffman said. “They’re just not going to beat USC and UCLA consistently (for recruits) because they’re not in Los Angeles."
If Nebraska recruits at the level they did this last year or better, they'll be just fine. They start making trips to Indy and cracking the top 10-15 in the recruiting rankings a little more often, especially so.
