Has an air-raid/spread/hurry-up offense ever actually won anything of note?

Topic came up while watching football tonight. No one could think of a single instance since the tempo, spread offense became popular where it was actually successful in winning a national championship or a super bowl.
Obviously the spread is a go-to formation for almost all football teams that play at a high level and so success has been had with the offensive formation in general, but the pass heavy/tempo offenses seem to be a gimmick more than anything else when it comes it down it.
Some examples of what I'm talking about include Oregon, Baylor, Manziel's Aggie teams, Baker's OU team, etc......It's obviously possible I'm shitfaced and I'm missing someone who actually won shite, so if that happened let me know.

OU was running some variation of the spread offense in 2000 when they won the national title... Urban Meyer won titles in 2006, 08, and 14.... auburn and Oregon played for a title in 2010.
That’s just off the top of my head.

Florida wasn’t running the spread neither was Auburn
Single Wing is not a spread.

This is probably as close as I'm going to get. For whatever reason I didn't think of them, likely because I've never watched a lot of Clemson games.
For whatever reason, I don't really remember them being tempo based and/or a team whose success revolved entirely around the offensive scheme. For example, I don't recall them spreading the field as extreme as Baylor or Oregon did with offensive line splits and vertical routes.
I know they had a ton of weapons on those teams so they likely didn't need to, for whatever reason I just don't really remember thinking that offense was comparable to Oregon/Baylor/A&M in their heydays, but I could be totally wrong

St. Louis Rams in 1999-2000.

This is a good example.
I wonder why it's been so hard to replicate the success? I guess it's just that difficult to accumulate the personnel and also have a lot of things go your way throughout the season (injuries, scheduling, etc).

You are actually doing this thread and acting like the Patriots havent used the spread offense for years

I literally mention in the OP that the spread as a formation is the go-to for almost every football team that plays at a high level
The Patriots spread offense is nothing even remotely similar to Oregon's up-tempto zone spread or Baylor's offense.

So then why do you have the spread in your title? Forgive me if I didnt read your actual post because you were retarded last Sunday over the spread offenses when the rams lost

Both teams have and would run tempo when the opportunity presents itself, and have been very successful when employing such tempo.
