13. 1995 Nebraska (12-0)

All-Time Season Score: 28.1400
Key Season Score Element: 5.5 Elite Win Score
Best Win: Nebraska 62, Florida 24 (Fiesta Bowl)
Worst Game: Nebraska 35, Washington State 21

One of the most dominant seasons of all-time, the 1995 Huskers beat everyone but Washington State – taking down the Cougars 35-21 – by 23 points or more. So what’s missing? Not much, with four wins over teams that finished 10-2 or better. However, there were four Bad Wins


Their two closest games were margins of 14 and 23 points.

That’s literally the one I just referenced as being the only one I’ve seen. They rank 1995 Nebraska as the 13th best National Champion of all time. Behind teams like 2009 Bama, 2013 Florida State, and 2014 Ohio State, who lost by 14 at home to Va. Tech.

Anything else?


I also noticed he wouldn't link it, as he knew the moment the publication was put out there it'd be mocked.

The most egregious part of that is referring to 4 of their wins as "bad wins" - while ranking an Ohio State team who lost by 14 at home several spots ahead of them.

If SOG had created that metric, he would have deleted the whole damn program when it spit that nonsense out.

Instead, these guys said "send it!"

2019 LSU at #3 and a whole year before Alabama won the national championship?

Interesting.

These should really be posted as a percentage of the number of games against P5 teams.

Well this really isn’t debatable. LSU 2019 is the best of all time. Anyone saying otherwise is just trolling.

Don’t know if they are the best. There is no way to determine that. But I do know for a fact they are the most accomplished.

One thing is not in dispute. The Ogre pissed off Nick Saban in 2019 and he shouldn't have done that.

2020 is evidence of what happens when you piss off Nick Saban.

How many top 25 wins did Bama have? How many of those awards Bama won with first round picks opting out?
