      Texas did win the NC last year but they are not now even close to the 
team which won the NC.

     I am not sure I would say NU is on fire.  They had to fight to the end 
to beat A&M and didn't really put Colorado away until the second half.  I am 
very happy with the wins.  I am excited to be going to the Championship Game 
and the possibilities that are before us.  I just don't believe one can say 
NU is on fire and are hot since the OSU game.  I guess if you are just 
considering they won against teams that really aren't that good, even 
considering A&M's win against Texas, maybe they are on fire.  As I said 
before, this next week should give us the information we need to say whether 
or not the Huskers are ready to run with the big dogs.
