One of the best? I'd prefer the age old rivalry of Cats vs Dogs and watch them go at in an enclosed room. Hawkeye's vs Huskers? For some reason it just doesn't fancy me. I don't know if it's Iowa's uniforms, their colors, or what it is. I just don't take Iowa football seriously. Maybe it's because they just don't have the reputation as being a powerhouse or anywhere in the picture when it comes to major bowls. I guess given time and some seasoning this could develop into some heated rivalry but I think Wisconsin has a better chance of filling that rivalry gap than Iowa does for now.
In history, the NEB program has been head and shoulders above that of IOWA.................for the past ten years, Iowa has been the better program by a slight margin.
For the next upcoming nest 10 seasons, I would venture to guess that Iowa will continue to be the better current program.

Royalfan -- the Huskers have been irrelevant in football since the days of partial qualifiers ended. The days of a dominating program in Lincoln have been over for a while. The stats don't lie -- they have been a very mediocre program for the better part of a decade. The last conference championship was in 1999. They only played in the title game twice in that same period. They played in the northern part of the Big 12 -- which is by far the weaker part of the conference. I also believe that by cutting ties with the Texas schools they will have a very hard time recruiting in that very fertile recruiting land.
