re: Matt Leinart settles debate of best team ever

Schedule was pathetic

They played and defeated four teams that finished inside the AP Top 10 by an average score of 49-18.

#2 Florida (62-24)
#5 Colorado (44-21)
#7 Kansas State (49-25)
#9 Kansas (41-3)

Considering Florida was just as dominant against a "tougher" schedule, and considering how badly Nebraska beat them in the Fiesta Bowl, what team from 1995 could have beaten them?

Tennessee? They finished #3 that year and their only loss was to Florida (62-37). While I know the transitive property isn't the best thing to go off of, considering Nebraska beat that very same Florida team by 38 points, is there any question how Tennessee likely would have faired against the Cornhuskers in a hypothetical matchup - especially given how Nebraska treated the other four Top 10 opponents they faced? Fourth ranked Florida State likely would have met a similar fate considering they lost by 11 to Florida in the last game of the regular season.
