Love hypothetical matchups causing arguments. Feels like SEC twitter.

The thing people forget about the overrated arse 01 Miami is when BC almost beat them they did it without their best player RB William Green(Big East Player Of The Year).

If Green plays BC very very likely beats them

Very underrated forgotten dude of early 2000s CFB. I only remember him becuase UGA played BC in the music city bowl, that was Richt's first year.

I didn' realize he was out against miami .

Who did 01 Miami play that had so many NFL Players? 8 win FSU lolololol

1995 Nebraska and all twelve of their opponents combined produced just two first round draft picks the following spring - and both were busts, incidentally.

That’s pathetic.

In the 2020 draft, 18 first rounders played for or against LSU. And a lot of those guys are among the best in the NFL.

1995 Nebraska didn’t play any super talent like the SEC had at its zenith, and the best players they did play were young. Wuerffel, Hilliard, Anthony, Green, etc. all returned in 1996.

Florida also picked up Bob Stoops from your vaunted 1995 KSU defense. I would bet that Florida spent a good bit of the 1996 offseason preparing to defend Nebraska. Unfortunately, they didn’t get a chance for a rematch because Arizona State shut Nebraska out and Priest Holmes ran all over them.

lol still talking about the NFL like that's got anything to do with anything. Still talking about other seasons other than 95 hahahaha

Just give it up you have done an absolutely terrible job of making your case against 95 Nebraska.

Never played a snap on defense without a one possession minimum lead in the 4th quarter.

One possession wins against Texas/Auburn/Bama after they scored to try and comeback and LSU knelt the ball out the next possession.

Never in real duress for 15 perfect games against a monster schedule.

Glad someone brought this up. Against VT, that vaunted Miami defense got carved up on the ground by Kevin Jones.

I just find it fascinating how a Miami team that barely survived the Big East, and was lead by Larry Coker and Ken Dorsey, is viewed as the greatest ever. Yet '13 FSU, who bulldozed the ACC with a Heisman QB, is so easily dismissed from the conversation by some posters.

I know it’s Globetrotter747 without even looking at the username anytime I see a comment talking about how overrated 1995 Nebraska is.

It has a lot to do with the formidability of the roster and opponents.

Most of Osborne’s teams played better competition than his 1995 edition. That’s the point. Look at their 1994-1997 run alone.

The 1994 team had to play a Colorado (with Kordell Stewart and Rashaan Salaam) in the regular season. Clearly a better team than anyone the 1995 group played in the regular season. The 1994 team also had to go into the Orange Bowl and face a tough defensive team. The 1995 didn’t have to deal with players like Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis. Good luck scoring 62 pts. on them.

The 1996 team played an Arizona State team on the road that very nearly won the national title. Better than anyone the 1995 team played in the regular season. And the 1996 team had to play a conference championship against a blue blood with a formidable RB. The 1995 team sat at home between the regular season and bowl.

You talk about the 1995 KSU defense like they’re the 2000 Ravens. Rewind the clocks back ten years to when Nebraska was playing against Brian Bosworth, Tony Casillas, Dante Jones, and there’s no comparison. OU could have won three straight national titles from 1985-1987 if not for their struggles against Miami. Prime OU was a hell of a lot better than 1995 Kansas, Kansas State, and Colorado.

1995 Nebraska was a great football team. I am not saying they weren’t. But what I am saying is that Nebraska had a lot of great teams and players in the Osborne era. Guys who won the Heisman (Mike Rozier), starred on Super Bowl teams (Roger Craig, Tom Rathman), and have national awards named after them (Dave Rimington). Nebraska was not hurting for talent prior to the mid ‘90s. But they did have to play better teams in the regular season and bowl games.

If Nebraska teams like 1982-1983, 1987, and 1996 only had to beat teams like 1995 KSU, Osborne would have had more undefeated or more dominant teams.

it's smiply an echo chamber that has gone on for decades and apparently will never end.

Pretend that all those miami dudes fizzled out in the NFL. Note: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING regarding the 2001 miami hurricanes would change one single smidgen. Every stat, every play, every score, literlaly every single thing remains the exactd same and unchanged. Would they still be considered the best team of all time? Anyone being honest with themseles would admit they absolutely would NOT, proving that the majoriyt of the aura/mystique around that team is predominantly due to how all-world they would end up being at the next level. Which is wholly irrelevant to discussion about college.

The defense was better than mid if you actually watched the games. Sometimes they gave up some points, but they played a gauntlet of a schedule and clamped down when the offense needed them too. They would absolutely beat that Miami team.
