You'll be less confused if you ignore the entire premise and move on with your life. 1 Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 This entire thread is pointless. There are quite a few schools on his "cold" list that really aren't cold. It's all subjective. The better team usually wins. simple as that Quote Link to comment

Huskers93-97 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Watching the game now- Alabama does not deserve to be talked about with the best teams of all time. Great team- best ever talks no. ESPN always jumps too soon on best ever talks before the season even finishes. Remember 05 USC - it was practically before the season started Quote Link to comment

I watched every snap in '05. They're a Reggie Bush are-you-kidding-me lateral OR a 4 and inches away from back to back. ETA...Bama's first two plays they are playing hungry in the 2nd half.

But to dub them greatest of all time all season then you don’t even win the natty just doesn’t age well. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. If your best of all time or want considered you don’t lose the natty game. That’s all I’m saying Quote Link to comment

quesadilla Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 In December 2017 a bunch of sources picked up this 538 story that said, based on Elo ratings, the 17-18 Crimson Tide edged out the '95 Huskers by 0.3 as the best college team ever: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/we-rate-alabama-the-strongest-team-in-college-football-history/ Of course, Alabama went on to lose the national championship that year to Clemson. The same thing appears to be happening this year, both as to the Alabama hype and the collapse in the national championship. I never saw a revision of that 2017 story but this year 538 is rating the 3 best college teams since 2000 as the 18-19 Crimison Tide, the 17-18 Crimson Tide, and the 18-19 Clemson Tigers, in that order: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-best-and-worst-teams-of-2018-in-almost-any-sport/ If the '95 Huskers were that close the 17-18 Crimson Tide and both that Tide team and this year's lose the Championship, then I guess the argument become '95 Huskers vs 18-19 Clemson... (unfortunately, 538 used two different Elo numbers in those stories, so you can't compare Nebraska vs Clemson directly). Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The only weather debate I think is worth anything is how many warm weather schools play a cold weather game, especially on the road? Lets see these here warm weather schools play one damn game in 33 degree weather with 20mph winds up north. 1 Quote Link to comment
