What's this?

Yeah, the Big 8 was pretty bad outside of those two. NU & OU were great.

Colorado had gotten good, but then essentially disappeared after the Big 8-SWC expansion/merger. The CU-NU game wasn't really much of a rivalry. Colorado only beat them 9 times in 50 years. It moved to the last game of the year in '96, and CU only beat them 4 times from that point forward.
