They were indeed a force but IMO had 1983 NU beat (not tied) Miami than they probably would overshadow the '71 Huskers simply because they we getting the GOAT talk.

Here's my top five...
1. Bama 66
2. Ohio State 68
3. Nebraska 71
3. Oklahoma 71
4. Nebraska 95
The Bama missing ring team was the best football team I ever watched. Started the season ranked number one, went 11-0,beat Nebraska 34-7 in the Sugar Bowl, and became the only team in NCAA history to be ranked number one in the pre-season, go undefeated and untied, and not win the championship, finishing third behind Notre Dame and Michigan State, both with 9-0-1 records.
We gave up 37 points for the season and shut out our last five opponents. Stabler led an offense with wide receivers Ray Perkins and Dennis Homan.
The punt return team gave up less than a foot a return.
There's never been a football team like that one. They were beyond incredible.
Vince Lombardi, after winning the Super Bowl, was asked, "Is this the best team ever?".
His reply was, "I don't know, we haven't played Alabama yet." That team was that good.
Ohio State in 1968 was a juggernaut. Led by Jack Tatum, they rolled over everybody.
In their classic matchup against Michigan they won 50-14.
Then they beat USC 27-16 in the Rose Bowl to claim the national title.
Nebraska 71 was what Coach Bryant called, "The best team I've ever seen" after they destroyed his undefeated Bama team 38-6 in the Orange Bowl. They were simply too big and fast.
Oklahoma lost 35-34 to Nebraska in the final regular season game of 71,their only loss, and then went to the Sugar Bowl and wiped a 10-1 Pat Sullivan led Auburn off the map, 40-22.
They averaged 45 points per game, and Greg Pruitt averaged 9.4 yards per carry.
Nebraska behind Tommy Frazier beat a Steve Spurrier Florida team 62-24.
That speaks for itself.
When I think about all time greatest teams, I think about dominance, and these are the most dominant teams I can recall.
sip
ps--I'd have no problem flipping 2 and 3 but Bama 66 was the best ever.

The subtitles kill me. Hilarious every time.Wasn't the 08 Gata team the "superlative of all excellence," or was that the 09 team?
Whichever, we all would surely agree that the Congresswoman's speech praising them just has to be the GOAT in terms of politicans giving speeches praising sports teams.
ICYMI back then, or if you just need a reminder/chuckle.
Well the '08 Lions went 0-16, I bet the Gators would have handled them pretty easily. ***blue font***

Nope I disagree. Tim Brown may not be in now but he will be one day. As for Jounson of course he is a future HOF player and here's why...
On top of that he still has 2-3 good years left in him. Frank Gore is another. He is 33 yards away from breaking 10,000 career rushing yards. Also he is the 49ers all-time leading rusher. With the way running backs are being used these days not to mention their short life span we may not see to many more break that milestone. So that's 3 right there.
Bottom line rather or not the rest of those guys get in or not, they still were some of the most dominate players at their position though out the 2000's. That's why so many consider the '01 Hurricanes the GOAT.

Totally agree with BamaJama on Johnson. 1st ballot HOF'er and he will tack on more stats over the next 2-3 yrs. Gore has had a good career but not sure about HOF.
2/3rds of those records were Texans franchise records not NFL records. The Texans have been around for just over a decade so those weren't hard records to set.Nope I disagree. Tim Brown may not be in now but he will be one day. As for Jounson of course he is a future HOF player and here's why...

I'm not saying Johnson wont make the HoF. I'm saying WR's better than him still haven't' made it in. He's not a sure bet. He's one of the best of this generation sure, but we are in a pass happy generation & I'll be interested to see how he a lot of today's WR's & QB's shake out when it comes time for HoF voting. They can't all make it in.
And you can't count Gore. Gore wasn't really a contributing member of that team. He had 2 carries in the Championship game. Yeah he was on the roster, but he wasn't one of the reasons 2001 Miami was so good.
Again, great team. But you can write 200 more posts on them and it still wouldn't' convince me that they are the greatest team of all time. Most talented? Argue away, I'll probably jump in on your side. Best? Nope.
Well we only got until the end of time for them to get in. It only goes to show you that some teams were so great and talented that players like him didn't hardly get to play. IE 2008 with $Cam and Tebow.2/3rds of those records were Texans franchise records not NFL records. The Texans have been around for just over a decade so those weren't hard records to set.
