re: Best Football Team in NCAA History? Single Year.

2001 Miami Hurricanes


I won't bother responding to the silly comments about how they were overrated because of NFL talent.


The best two teams I've seen since then are the 2011 Alabama and LSU teams.

Best on paper is the 1995 Huskers (by on paper, I mean based on stats not the roster).

2011 SEC was deeper than the 2001 Big East or 1995 Big 8. I'd be surprised to see unbiased fans debate that LSU's 2011 schedule >>> than 1995 Nebraska's and/or 2001 Miami's. LSU dominated every opponent but #2 ranked Alabama. Miami nearly lost to 8-4 Boston College and 8-4 Virginia Tech. They were hardly unbeatable. 1995 Nebraska predominated their schedule. 2011 LSU would have an argument if they had a strong passing game; that would have helped them beat Alabama better on 11/5. A more convincing victory in Tuscaloosa would have given Oklahoma State the edge it needed to beat Alabama in the polls. LSU would have blown out Oklahoma State and be renowned as potentially the GOAT.
