zoogs Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Way to go, ESPN....awww, you guys rock. http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnatio...stranker?id=643 Florida shocked many in the college football world, winning the first Tostitos BCS National Championship Game, earning them the title as the best in the land. They took down Ohio State in a 1 vs. 2 matchup. With the win, the last page of this season is turned. But what about history? The newly crowned champs were the best the college gridiron had to offer this season, but how do they stack up against the championship teams of the last 10 years? Are they better than Vince Young's Longhorns? Better than Eric Crouch's Cornhuskers? Now let's get Sam Keller's Cornhuskers up there. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Florida better than the '97 Huskers? Heck no. Now VY's Longhorns, Leinart/Bush's USC or Josh Heupel's OU, yes. Those three were better than that NU team. Quote Link to comment
hack Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 waitaminute... wasn't frost the qb on the '97 championship team? Quote Link to comment
Necava Husker Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 waitaminute... wasn't frost the qb on the '97 championship team? bwahahaha What, just because Scott Frost was the starting QB and played 95% of the downs and Eric Crouch was only a freshman—does that mean 1997 wasn’t Crouch’s team?

DJR313 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 ERIC CROUCH DIDN'T PLAY IN 1997! Goddamn espn. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 ERIC CROUCH DIDN'T PLAY IN 1997! Goddamn espn. Where does it say '97? Maybe they are referring to his Heisman year...though they only made it to the Championship game I guess. Odd. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Ahhh....I typed that before clicking on the link for the full article....and seeing the '97 Huskers box. You'd think the Epicenter of all things sports-related would have their research staff look up little things like "Who was the starting QB for each of these teams?" I'd have to put the '04 USC team at the top. Pretty dominant. OU has one national title and 2 other title appearances in the last 10. Pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment
BGREDSTUCKN IA Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 My top three would have to be 04 USC, 05 Texas, followed by either 01 Miami and 03 LSU. They were all pretty salty. Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 absolut friggin :asshat 's!!!! i bet kirk put this together just to piss us off. the SCOTT FROST team was pretty damn good. not ton's and ton's of talent but we freaking STEAM rolled people that year. it took payton manning 10 years to shake off that beating and finally win a championship.

I'm pretty sure Peyton had forgotten about that game by the time he was Indy's #1 pick. If not then, then maybe after he started breaking records left and right. Quote Link to comment

Had to love watching him conduct the band instead of being the QB. We dismantled Ten and would've done the same to Mich if we played em. '01 Miami was probably the best in the past 10 years, but come on, Texas and USC....give me a break. Quote Link to comment

I am I Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 all i'm saying about payton manning is that, starting with us, he had never won a championship DESPITE setting records and being the number one pick. we friggin pipelined them that year and he had been known as the QB with all the talent and no rings since then, until the super bowl this year, obviously. i think our 97 team is underrated because of all the hype michigan and payton were getting. (and yes, i'm misspelling his name on purpose) Quote Link to comment
