re: How effective are high scoring offenses in winning the NC?

depends on what kind of high scoring offense. nebraska and oklahoma won a lot with run dominated offense. it you are talking about the "spread" offense there are just too many versions to make a general statement. the true spread has won none; neither did the run and shoot. the teams that have won had great defenses and running games but could pass the damn ball effectively also. the type of offense ain't near as important as some peoople say, imo.
