Yesterday(for those that don't know H2H is a Mississippi sports radio show hosted by State's and the state of Alabama's own Matt Wyatt and a ballet instructor from OM named Dick Cross).

Would an undefeated Mississippi State team be considered the greatest college team to ever play football? I was in car driving and almost spewed my diet coke when the caller raised the question, but then I got to thinking. Has any other college team ever went 15-0? Surely by that number State would have to considered the greatest football team ever. Thoughts?

So since they get to play more games in a season they are automatically the GOAT? That's fricking ignorance at its finest right there.

If you base your argument on record then yes but it would hardly be considered the best team ever put on the field imo.

Depends on how they would win the rest of their games, but I have a hard time believing that the best team ever barely beat Arkansas at home, and struggled a little with UAB and Kentucky.

Nebraska 1995 is the GOAT.

Look at these results. Beat four top 10 teams like they were Vanderbilt.

Quotes from the game notes:

quote:

No. 2 Nebraska lost quarterback Tommie Frazier early in the second quarter with a bruised thigh but still dominated Michigan State in a 50–10 rout at East Lansing


quote:

Nebraska set a modern school record with 63 points in the first half en route to a 77–28 victory over Arizona State.


quote:

The Huskers gained 508 yards in the first half


quote:

Nebraska totaled 731 yards, the fifth-highest total in school history,


quote:

Nebraska overcame an early deficit - in what ultimately proved to be the only time the Huskers would trail during the entire regular season - to beat Washington State 35–21.


quote:

ebraska's Blackshirt defense forced five fumbles and recovered two of them, intercepted two passes, held Missouri to 122 total yards, and notched the Huskers' first shutout of the season in a 57–0 win over the Tigers.


quote:

No. 2 Nebraska jumped out to a 35–6 halftime lead over No. 8 Kansas State en route to a 49–25 victory.


quote:

New No. 1 Nebraska scored on its first ten possessions and posted 624 rushing yards (second-most in school history) and 776 total yards (fifth-most in school history) en route to a 73–14 win


quote:

Nebraska defeated Florida 62–24, marking the largest margin of victory and highest score in a national championship game in history.


GOAT.

the 15-0 mean nothing, but the SEC West, SEC Championship, and two playoff games against top 5 teams? Yeah, I would say they would have had the best season ever.

Seriously, Arky and Ole Miss and LSU are no jokes, Bama and AU are top teams. Then you get the East Champ which will be a top 20 team. Then you must play two top 4 teams to finish. That would be 8 games against top 15-20 teams.

I would say they played the toughest schedule ever and won all their games. That is pretty damn salty.

I'll give you Auburn, but why Bama? What have they done this season to prove they are a top team?
They could quite easily lose to Auburn and State and end up 9-3.

I just don't understand why they are being elevated above the Ole Miss and LSU no joke status to "top team" status.

The 15-0 was taking all that into account. The teams we would have to beat to get to that mark would be more impressive than any other undefeated season in college football history IMO.

It wouldn't be the greatest "team" in college football history. But it would be the greatest STORY. It would be a defiance of odds that's never been matched in the sport...
