has your team ever beat "the greatest team of all time" for a nc?

[cane_man]

3 off the top of my head...

Canes beat 83 huskers, who were universally considered the greatest evar!

OSU beat 02 canes, who were considered at the time better than the 01 canes. A team many still consider the goat.

Texas beat 05 USC, which was predetermined the goat....before the nc even took place.

Fun facts:
83 NU had the biggest and baddest OL in all the land that season. They averaged 272 pounds.

The canes beat, and lost as, the goat. Pfffft.

Terry porter became the most famous ref in ncaa history.....yet, never worked another game.

NU would put together another goat, just over 10 years after 83 (many think they still are). That season they again had tto face a team from florida......with much different results.

Well LSU beat Oklahoma after they lost to Kansas State in '03. So they were claimed to be the best team of all time but not directly before they played LSU.

I still want to know if that '83 Orange Bowl would have been different if Rozier doesn't get hurt. It is the stuff of nightmares....

I have heard this mentioned before. How do people know this?

I am not saying it's not true, I just have never seen it documented from a credible source before.

I'm seriously going to have an unpleasant dream about this tonight, cane_man.... you bastard. *shakes fist of fury in your general direction*

Another awful what-if..... If Roger Craig had stayed for his senior season, he would have come in when Rozier got hurt in the 3rd Q. *curls up in fetal position*

Its a tongue in cheek exercise. How could the goat get beat at all? :rollseyes: too bad UVa cant squeeze in more students.

Yep. We smoked the 1980 Wichita State team 73-0.

They never recovered from that and as a direct result discontinued the football program 6 years later.

 

[JuiceTheGator]

2006 worthless nuts were bantered around as the GOAT. Man, they really sucked.

You should read the title again or are you still traumatized from losing Meyer and to Georgia Southern?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Like you said tOSU beat that 02' Canes team...probably the best team of all-time

 

[BigRedMoe]

We beat Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson for an NC. He's probably the best football player turned wrestler turned action movie star that ever was or will be. Does that count? No? Damnit.

That we did!

[KansasSooner]

Nah, we lost to the Huskers in '71.

 

[starbigd]

As gratifying as it was to beat USC in 05, they had no business being discussed as a GOAT team. They'd have been SMOKED if they had to play the 95 Huskers. That reason alone should have made every non-USC fan a Texas fan that day. We all got a fantastic game out of it too.

I remember that. It always bugged me how much people bring up that USC was dubbed the greatest team of all time and then lost to Texas when Oklahoma had gotten the same distinction before losing to KSU and LSU.
