AGAIN, I'm not trying to diminish what they did. But you can't deny that they played in an era where style points counted and you HAD to run up the score because of the way the system was set up to crown national champions. Teams in the BCS era had other factors that determined ranking so style points were not so heavily relied upon.......

The difference between that Huskers team and everybody else is that they were legitimately 4-5 TD's better than every other team. Osborne wasn't running the score up. That score is just what naturally happened. I was 14 and remember thinking they (the Huskers) were frauds all year. Even more so when the Gators were up after the first quarter and then the 2nd quarter happened......the rest was fukking history. I still remember thinking Tommie Frazier was fukking superman after that 75 yard run.

That 01 Canes team had talent. No doubt. Those SC teams were off the charts talented too. If you're using NFL draft picks to validate greatness, but on the field that Huskers team were fukking brutes. Tommie Frazier might be the most underrated college football player of all time.

That's true but I think our 08 team was JUST as good as that Miami team but no team is touching that 95 Nebraska team...we should know :to:
fukk outta here. UF in '08 wasn't even better than USC '08. The Trojans got fukked out of the championship game. You guys beat that weak ass Oklahome team by 10 with Bradford fukking up twice inside the 5 :heh:

USC would've beaten UF handily that year.

Yea, he's wylin. Can't make that claim when you lost a game. Sorry.

Still don't see how the '01 Canes are some undisputable GOAT team. Most talented ever? Sure.

But you can't be the GOAT college football team if you needed a fluke INT to beat Boston College.

The 95 Nebraska team destroyed everyone in their path. It was unreal.

shyt, if you compare the '13 Noles resume and '01 Miami's, there's a legit argument to be made for the former. We thoroughly dominated every game until the National Championship and the team was stacked with NFL talent. Not to mention, no team has ever scored more points in a season.
I guess we're just gonna gloss over the fact that those Canes teams won 34 straight, right?

This thread is about some '08 UF Gators that didn't even go undefeated, losing at home to Ole Miss :heh:

Noles were great this year.. that's for another thread, friend

The hell they wouldn't have. That defense was illegal. They didn't "fukk up" in the redzone, UF MADE plays. Like Mark Sanchez was gonna do ANYTHING against that defense

13 NOLES is a top 5 team off all times...that includes high school, flag, pro and semi pro
:mjlol:

Y'all beat my school by 3 points in the last 13 seconds. W is a W but when it comes to best teams of all time, you better be blowing everyone one out.

I'll go with the 90's Nebraska teams, '01 Miami, 70's OU teams, maybe a few others before '13 FSU.

2011 Alabama is really underrated they lost at home in OT by 3 to the #1 team due to shytty FG kicker but they pretty much shutdown everyone else and avenged the LSU loss in the title game with a shutout. 2011 Bama defense would've gave Urban another heart attack.

Didn't win the conference. Can't put them up with the GOATs. '09 Bama would go over them IMO.

95 Nebraska >>>

Michael Vick-type QB + Two elite RBs + Elite Defense + Top 5 Coach

They destroyed teams.

Had Steve Spurrier and the Florida Gators looking like a high school squad in the 96 Fiesta Bowl.

Absolutely.

Their backup QB was a fukking beast too. RIP Brooke. :to:

:what:
when did you start watching football? The same Mark Sanchez that threw for 34/10 for 65% with CJ Gable, Stafon Johnson, and Joe McKnight in the backfield?

Their defense had Maualuga, Cushing, and Clay Matthews :heh:

'08 Gators would beat '01 Canes :mjlol:
