Is the FSU 2013-14 team the best college football team of all time? Oklahoma, Alabama, Ohio State, Miami, and even the Florida Gaytors have all fielded excellent teams. But which is the BEST of all time? One person I know insists it is this year's FSU team. But, what say YOU?

[WesG]

1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers, destroying #2 Florida 62-14. Tommie Frazier’s 75yd TD run, one of the best highlights ever.

[WesG]

oops, Fat-finger typo. Nebraska 62, Florida 24.

Let me *think* - Didn’t FSU have some weaknesses on defense this year?

[Young Werther]

Rutgers beats Princeton in 1869!

Rutgers 6 Princeton 4

College Field, New Brunswick, NJ

So,what’s in your punch bowl?

[Lmo56]

Texas didn’t lose a game for 3 years [30 game win streak] until they were upset by Notre Dame in 1971 in the Cotton Bowl. Crucial play was Joe Theisman’s “quick kick” on 3rd down for Notre Dame when they were backed up to their end zone ...

[jra]

This is comical.

They aren’t even in the top 25 of all time.

This really depends on how you measure excellence in college football. A team's record isn't even relevant to this discussion because every team under consideration for this honor would have been unbeaten for that particular season.

So you end up using other measures like strength of schedule and margins of victory. The 2013 FSU team falls flat because of a weak schedule.

The 1971 Nebraska team is rated by many experts to be the best of all time, mainly because of its overwhelming margins of victory and a schedule that included many top teams.

The 1995 Nebraska team probably stands out for one number alone: 27 of the players on that team later played in the NFL. To give you a sense of how amazing that number is, just realize that there are only 22 starting offensive and defensive players on a football team. Throw in up to four more "starters" (punter, kicker, punt returner and kick returner) and you still only get to 26.

Hard to say but players are bigger/stronger/faster pretty much every year. Training methods and facilities of today would astound a player from the 60s.

So it’s pretty much impossible to make valid comparisons over several decades in my view.

[Conspiracy Guy]

FSU best? Nope.

[Scoutmaster]

Probably Nebraska '71 or Nebraska '95.

Miami '01?

FSU '13-'14 isn't close. I might even pick Army '45 over FSU '13-'14 based on what I've read, but I never saw that Army team play.

[Hot Tabasco]

The 1966 Michigan State Spartans, led by Bubba Smith, who lost their national championship bid due to a tie with Notre Dame........

[CrouchingTiger620]

Seriously. They played a 3rd rate schedule and were down to a mediocre Auburn team for team for 3 quarters. Who self destructed. Nebraska 71, Oklahoma with the Selmons, Miami with Vinnie, Texas with Vince Young, Alabama 3 of last 4 years................not even close

[yarddog]

Impossible to say.

I remember Pittsburgh seemed unbeatable for a while. Miami, Florida and FSU all had great ones.

Nebraska, Alabama, Oklahoma, Notre Dame during the Parsegian years, Texas, Auburn the list just goes on and on.

[CommerceComet]

Not even close. There are several teams who didn’t win the national title who I believe could have beaten this FSU team. I’m not even sure that this year’s FSU team is the best FSU team of all-time.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Is the FSU 2013-14 team the best college football team of all time?

The 2012 Crimson Tide might have a better case. The 2013 Seminoles faced a very weak schedule and didn't even look like the best team in the Rose Bowl stadium for much of the title game.

[Skooz]

1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Period.

[real saxophonist]

Way back in the middle '80s, I went to GA Southern, and one of the few away games our band got to go to was Florida State. Yes, their football team won, but our two bands had a big ol' party after the game. Made a lot of friends.

So I say Go 'Noles. And Go Eagles, for that matter.

[gopno1]

1995 Nebraska. They could have easily hung 75+ on Florida in the title game (the starters were all out midway through the 4th quarter) and Florida was 12-0 and played a tough schedule. That Nebraska team was otherworldly and mean.

[yield 2 the right]

Nope, ACC was weak....FSU fans should admit that...plus they played my horrible Gators....JMHO.
