That is a question that no one will know the answer to. Personally I've left all teams that lost a game out of the discussion. Could it be the 2004 USC Trojans that had superstars like Matt Lienart and Reggie Bush? Yes, it could be. Could it be the 2004 Auburn Tigers that ran the table that year and got left out of the National Title Game? Yes, it could. Could it be the 2005 Texas Longhorns? Yes it could very well could be? Could it even be the 2006 Ohio State Buckeyes? Why, if they win the National Championship Game, then yes I believe it could be. Now before you say that all of theese teams are to recent and that I'm not looking back far enough, I must say that I think any team prior to the 1980s should be left out of this discussion. Another team that could be the best is the Michigan team from 1997. Or the Nebraska team from 1994 and even 1995. Maybe Miami in 2001 or Ohio State in 2002. This is a question that no one any where will ever be able to answer, but I'm going to try.
In my opinion the best team in college football history is the...............................2005 Texas Longhorns.
Heres why. Two words. VINCE YOUNG. Also I had to exclude the 2004 Trojans because the 2005 Longhorns basically beat them the next year in the National Championship. I also had to exclude the 2004 Auburn Tigers, because they were considered the second best team in the country at the time. I couldn't pick the 2002 Buckeyes because they had no legit QB and their best player is now in jail for 20-30 years. I also couldn't select the 2006 Buckeyes, because, one, they haven't won it yet, and, two, the Longhorns basically beat them in 2005 also. The other reasons I had were the Longhorns dominance during the regular season. A 45-12 thrashing of Oklahoma in one of the biggest rivalries in college football. A closest game in conference being an 11 point win at Texas A&M. And maybe that 70-3 murder of Colorado in the Big 12 Championship Game. They beat, the second best team ever in my opinion in the 2005 USC Trojans, in what was the best college game ever played.
Thanks for reading, and please leave your opinions on who you think the best college team ever is.
To respond to you guys who left comments, I agree that the 96 gators are a great team, and in my opinion one of the top 5 teams ever, but I said at the beginning that I was going to leave out teams that had lost a game. I do believe that 96 Florida VS 05 Texas would be a great game, and I don't know if Florida would win, and nobody will. No one will ever know for sure, but I think that 05 Texas was the best ever, with 04 USC second, then this might surprise your 04 Auburn third, with 96 Florida fourth, and 01 Miami fifth.
