Greatest team in college football history?
Dec 30, 2018, 7:58 PM

Will the winner of next weeks game go down as the greatest ever? We will be the first 15-0 team ever. Top 2 in both offense and defensive efficiency. Arguably one of the greatest defensive lines in history. I think if bama wins the pundits take less than 5 min to crown them the greatest ever.

It works that way for some reason. Everyone said USC in 2005 was the best team ever but then when Texas beat them, nobody called Texas the best ever.

a top offense and defense to even be considered.. That army team seems pretty stout based on those stats but i don't really know much about them. I was thinking one of those fsu teams with maybe 96 or 99.. they had warrick dunn and peter warrick, boulware and a few other i'm sure on D. charlie ward was the 96 qb and 99 had Weinke

That is still probably the greatest team I’ve seen in my lifetime. What they did to #2 Florida in that championship game was unreal.

I just looked it up. 1995 Nebraska played against 4 Top 10 teams that year, including undefeated and #2 Florida in the title game. The average score was 49-18. After seeing that as well, they have my vote as the greatest in my 40 year lifespan.

These things need time, but espn will annoint Bama best ever. Some of those Miami teams were crazy good with NFL HOF'ers
Even with what's happened the last 4 years, I have no idea how we didn't win with Boyd/Hopkins/Watkins/Bryant/Ellington
