Just watched the Gator Bowl vs USCe man that team was great. How would they have fared against The U, FSU, Okla, and The Cuse? These were the teams ahead in the final rankings.
I think we would have had a good chance against all of them.

same year as the Ohio State tie in Baton Rouge?

Auburn was a better team that year also, they just didn't play each other.
The only team I would give them a chance to win against out of those listed would be Syracuse.

The best Tiger team that I had the pleasure of watching until 2003. That was a little bit quirky team but they were very talented and would have had a shot against anyone. They really should have beaten Ohio State but ended up fortunate to preserve the tie. the only defeat was legit, but I would have loved seeing Hodson in that game (he was out with an injury) even though Guidry was a capable backup.

didn't look it up, but we were playing theU and FSU around that time.
I think '88 or '89 theU beat our brains in in TS. And Cuse beat us in the '89 hall of fame bowl (I think)

U - won it all that year by beating OU in the Orange Bowl (I was there). Would love to have seen us play either that year.
FSU - lost a classic game to the U that year but beat Auburn soundly in the regular season. An LSU-FSU matchup would've been great that year.
Maybe the biggest thing hurting us from maxing out was the HC - Archer's first year. The gap between Arnsparger and Archer may not have been apparent in '87 but it would be soon.

What people forget about the 87 OSU game was that the field was watered that morning by mistake. Harvey and Sammy slipped and fell untouched on certain TD runs. We were so much better than them. The Bama loss was simple. Hodson was hurt and didn't come in until too late. I believe we could have hung with Miami, FSU etc that year.....at full strength.

We had to go for a 4th and 4 to get a first down late in the 4th and rally to beat Tulane. We were lucky to be #5.
