A lot of the mystique from that team was because Florida shite the bed so bad

Although that Florida team was very good, they were a terrible matchup for Nebraska. They were a soft, young, pass-oriented team with no familiarity with the Nebraska style of offense and no studs up from to counter it effectively.

Before the Fiesta Bowl, Nebraska was an overthrown TD pass from an eight game bowl losing streak. FSU and Miami were a lot more familiar with Nebraska and put more emphasis on defense than Spurrier, especially at that time.

As for the regular season, Nebraska always beat the shite out of the Big 8 except for when Switzer was at OU.

1995 Nebraska was a great team, but OU being rock bottom, no OOC opponents with more than six wins, and a bowl opponent poorly equipped to defend them helped a lot.

The 1982, 1983, 1987, 1993, and 1996 Nebraska teams would have had a great shot at a national title with the 1995 team’s schedule and bowl opponent.

In terms of matchups, I would like to see a team with no NFL arm, no NFL receivers, and a colossal head case at TB line up in the I and run over the 2021 UGA defense with Smart and a bunch of first round draft picks. Good luck with that shite.

Greatest College football team of all time…

1899 Sewanee Football.. Sewanee was one of the first college football powers of the South and the 1899 team was one of its best. The 1899 Tigers won 12 games and lost none, outscored opponents 322–10, and won the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) title.

This isn't even debatable.

2018 and 2019 Arkansas
greatest at fricking up every Saturday

1995 Nebraska - Most Dominant
2001 Miami - Great assembly of talent
2019 LSU - Offensive GOAT


Nebraska 1995 Schedule
Oklahoma St 4-8
Michigan St 6-5-1
Arizona St 6-5
Pacific 3-8
Washington St 3-8
Missouri 3-8
#7 Kansas St 10-2
#5 Colorado 10-2
Iowa St 3-8
#9 Kansas 10-2
Oklahoma 5-5-1

Not exactly murders row. They only played 6 teams with a winning record.

To go one step further here are the ranked wins their opponents had

Michigan St beat #17 Michigan
Arizona St beat #18 Oregon
Kansas St beat #9 Kansas
Colorado beat #15 aTm, #7 Kansas St, #18 Oregon
Oklahoma tied #14 Texas

1995 Nebraska was a very dominant team, but they really didnt face a lot of competition during the year.

I already posted this stuff a few months ago Old SEC Rant topic

1995 Nebraska - Most Dominant
2001 Miami - Great assembly of talent
2019 LSU - Offensive GOAT


LSU playing the Nebraska 1995 Schedule
#2 Clemson
#5 Oregon
#7 Oklahoma
#9 Penn St
Mississippi St would be the next best team

LSU playing the Miami 2001 Schedule
#8 Alabama
#14 Auburn
#15 Iowa
#18 Michigan
#19 Appalachian St
#21 Cincinnati
Texas A&M would be the next best team

Miami playing the LSU 2019 Schedule
#2 Orgeon
#4 Tennessee
#6 Oklahoma
#7 LSU
#8 Nebraska (this is the best team they played)
#14 Syracuse
#25 BYU
Next would be an 8-5 ATM type team

Nebraska playing the LSU 2019 Schedule
#2 Florida (played in the championship and demolished)
#4 Florida St
#6 Ohio St
#7 Kansas St (beat them regular season)
#8 Northwestern
#14 Texas
#25 Iowa
Next would be an 8-5 ATM type team which would have been their 4th best on the year.

It's easy to romanticize about the 1995 Nebraska or 2001 Miami teams, but when they are put in perspective I think the 2019 LSU team holds up.

The rankings and opponents would be from the perspective year that each team played

Well this is an opinion and you are entitled to it. I posted the facts.
95 Nebraska had an easy schedule. Only one team they beat had a top ten win. Only 6 teams had a winning record. LSU beat more ranked teams than Nebraska played teams with a winning record

In that case it was still 2005 Texas Longhorns because we beat the greatest team of all time (according to ESPN).

This isn’t true

Colorado beat KST who finished 7th
Florida beat Tennessee and FSU who finished 3rd and 4th respectively
KST beat Kansas who finished 10th
Kansas beat Colorado who finished 5th
