You can lane against any champion in the game if the player behind them isn't terribly good, let's say below the average 1300 elo player. Above that level players will generally understand when they can shut you down fairly safely and surviving on a lane against several champs like Akali, Udyr, Vladimir, Riven, Kennen, Teemo, and Olaf will be completely impossible barring a huge gap in skill. Another thing a decent player will know to do is to never push the lane. They'll only take last hits and tank waves before they get to their turret. Then if you go for last hit they'll completely dunk on you (possibly with their jungler) and you'll wish you were playing a different game.

Still, Nasus is quite viable against more than half of all common top champions and an almost guaranteed win if the other lanes don't feed against some. He's also surprisingly viable against certain mid champions that nobody wants to play against like Galio, Morgana and Kassadin. I recommend checking out the matchup section on Hyfe's guide, it's probably the best out there at the moment.
