Was the SP+ rating the lowest since 1971, or was the ranking of that score (71st) the lowest SP+ ranking that the Cornhuskers had? I'm not sure that that question communicated my puzzlement. Sorry.
Apologies, I didn't make it very clear. The 2022 rating is the lowest at Nebraska since 1970, which is as far back as the archive goes at collegefootballdata.com. But I think it's reasonable to assume none of the 1960s Devaney teams rated worse, that data just isn't available.
