I don't know how I feel about 2008 Florida being so low, but I guess they did lose a game.

2010 Auburn isn't getting much respect in that ranking.

So, the GOAT required an el-foldo by USC with 11 pt lead with but lil over four minutes remaining in game, and One-Pete to not attempt a single run play there forth til game's end..vs a team that needed a Bush-Push vs bad Notre and rally vs decent yet unexceptional Fresneck.

2005 Texas a great team? Yes! But, that 2001 Cane batch of marauders would beat the doors off that Texas team, and not let up like USoftC. I think 2008 Fla, 2009 and 2011 Bama, also would best the Horns.

That list is full of BS on many teams and their rank-file/slots.

He was All-World as a collegian, and that team was a monster, but 2005 Texas GOAT? Hell No!

If LSU 2005 had any Offense whatsoever, they were better than PSU/FSU, and the third best in the land that year, if only had an O..Tigs had the D to be in and win that game.

I give them slight alibis/mulligans on deadleg 10 week no-bye SECCG effort vs UGA and SEC/LSU newbie Miles/Pelini's DBs being 15 yd off LOS el-foldo vs Tenn on MNF off Katrina layoff.

2011 Bama too high. 2001 Miami is better than 2005 UT by a long shot and the best on that list.

2004 USC is a ton better than Bama 2011, and there is no doubt about that.

2003 LSU is just as good as 2012 Bama and played an actual opponent in the BCS championship.

2008 UF is better than 2011 and 2012 Bama.

LSU 2007 being that low is reasonable. 2006 UF should be higher as well.

No, you found it interesting, because Fla st had 2 teams in top 6.

Had they been the bottom 2, this thread wouldn't exist.

I agree they're not the best of all time...call me a homer but they should've lost that title game. That said, they do seem to get the short of end of the stick whenever these discussions come up and it's unfair to them. That team was absolutely loaded...VY, a dominant Oline and run game and one of the best secondaries of the BCS era.

I really couldn't care less where FSU is. I know the board loves these threads, so I posted it. Keep grasping, though.

Lol at 2007 LSU not being last, and 2002 OSU of all teams being last

2003 LSU is always criminally underrated

2005 isn't GOAT b/c 2005 USC had that game in hand in both halves and played their most mistake prone ball all year.

People revise history and think Texas stopped USC...they did, once...on 4th down...but USC's O was on fire the entire 2nd half and was steamrolling the 1st quarter to blow the game open before Bush decides to do his stupid-arse lateral as he's breaking off another huge run.

The game was lost because USC's D was by far the weakest of the 3 from 2003-2005.

Miami had the most talent, 2004 USC way more balanced than 2011 Bama on O and as stout on D.

Won the SEC in maybe the toughest year the SEC has ever been.

In a year when the SEC West was better than every other conference as a whole.

Sounds legit.

I don't see a team listed that would've stopped Malzahn/Cam. Not one.
