Meyer was a Mountain West coach, Spurrier and Richt were groomed into excellence in the ACC, and Miles was a Big 12 coach.

OU is overrated and Baker Mayfield kinda sucks, but Auburn is mediocre this year and not as good as "8-4". I'll take Oklahoma by a FG.

Miami had pure speed and chemistry though. They were actually identical to the 2012 Alabama team imo. Run heavy offense with a star WR and some speedy slot guys and then the defense ball hawked, dominated the d-line, and put crushing hits on opponents making it hard for them to pick up a single first down, let alone establish a drive.


The BC game, I remember that one distinctly. Boston College was pretty good and executed a perfect defensive game plan to contain Portis and make Dorsey win the game, and Dorsey had an awful day. It was like the SEC Championship Game for '12 Alabama against Georgia kinda.


To shut down 2001 Miami or 2012 Alabama, you had to mix up the perfect plays defensively to stop the running game and leave yourself at risk of getting burned by the mega WRs like Johnson or Cooper or the speedy slot guys on slants, and then you had to find a way to somehow move the ball on offense without getting turned over. I dunno, those two teams are clearcut the best I've ever seen. I think there's a gap between '01 Miami and '12 Alabama and the rest.

Lmao he was third string at Clemson? Didn't even know that. Well there's nothing about him that strikes me as an NFL QB. At least with Trubisky and Watson I see throws that make me go :bow: and say, "All right. These guys can ball."


Watson is kinda skinny for an NFL QB though. Bigger scramblers than Watson get hurt for those dual-threat antics in the pros.

Ummmmm... The way Tennessee is trending, they're one QB and a playmaker or two away from winning the SEC.

Towles has all the physical tools to make it happen. I remember watching a few Kentucky games where he was benched or came off the bench. If I were the Kentucky coach, he'd be my four year starter easily even if he goes through bad stretches. Confident BC will win its bowl game behind him.

That transitive property argument haha. I think 2004 USC was a better team than the hyped up '05 team because Shaun Cody and Mike Patterson were beasts on the D line. That's one common factor that the all-time teams share- beastly offensive and defensive lines. It matters because you eventually have to play an elite team that can rip off 5, 6, 7 yards per carry if you don't have a monster D-line.

I've heard a lot of old heads say 1994 Penn State and claim it was the best offense ever in an era when the Big Ten was the best conference in the nation, but I would say my top 5 of teams I remember would be:


1. 2005 USC
2. 1998 Ohio State
3. 2002 Miami
4. 2008 USC
5. 2003 USC

I've heard the '95 Nebraska team was dominant. That was a little before I started following CFB though.

That '99 Nebraska team was superb. I remember they almost jumped Virginia Tech in the BCS even though they had a loss because VT played in the weak east and the Big 12 was a powerful conference. Yeah, that would have been a great title game. FSU vs. Huskers

2011 Oklahoma State would have certainly lost to LSU. Team was beyond soft. LSU was a better and faster version of Stanford that season.

And Texas Tech would never beat any of Saban's good Alabama teams haha. TTU would get punished on the lines, even those years when they get big offensive lines, those guys are so unathletic. Bama brings in the linemen who punish you. :banghead:
