If we pull our heads out of our asses and win the last 2 I think this season wins.

Yep and it's not close. 98 would have destroyed this team.

1998
98's D had more talent but a week ago I gave 12 the nod due to Klein and AB's steady leadership and the offensive efficiency. 

Now I have to lean to 98 because of Bishop's dynamic playmaking.  He makes a least 3 or 4 spectacular runs or throws on broken plays tonight IMO

The Baylor team we just lost to is better than any team the '98 squad faced all season.

We played as sloppy as the 1998 team did and we lost just like them.

How does this make 1998 better?

98 ATM only lost @FSU, a close one to UT when Ricky went wild and OSU in Sugar - they were pretty salty

The '98 defense would give an offense like '12 KSU some serious problems, but they would have given up 50 points to West Virginia, OU, Baylor, and OSU. Head to head, they would have a puncher's chance, but if you are going to run them against this team's schedule, they probably struggle to find bowl eligibility.

This is correct Winters. The talent on that D was staggering, especially against the run.
Title: Re: 1998 was the best team
Post by: hemmy on November 18, 2012, 12:06:26 AM
10 penalties and 3 turnovers was the norm for '98 and the usually prevailed.

They were not built to face the offenses of the '12 Big 12. The spread would eat them alive.

might as well compare the 2012 team to the 1936 Big 6 title team. Completely different games.

Yeah, this is just like tucks comparing KSU players from the black and white tv era to Michael Beasley.

The defense of '12 wouldn't be able to stop the offenses of '98 then.

This is true, they were physical and mental freaks assembled to beat NU and CU's insanely powerful running games. 

What a team like KSU needs is a Nick Fairley type of D tackle that cannot be schemed around.  It would of be best if AB had been a 290 lb freak DT instead of a great LB that teams can avoid

They would handle that offense just fine. The '98 offense was way ahead of its time, which is really why that team did as well as it did. Snyder is a football genius. It's just too bad he can't handle success.

98 team for sure. michael bishop was just on another level. he was so dynamic. and the 98 defense would match up well with our 12 offense.
Title: Re: 1998 was the best team
Post by: HawkHater on November 18, 2012, 03:16:06 AM
The real test will be how this team handles the loss. We know how the '98 team handled it and it wasn't pretty. If this team shows some maturity and deals with the loss in the appropiate manner they have the clear edge. If they fall apart like '98 I call it a wash.
Title: Re: 1998 was the best team
Post by: Rage Against the McKee on November 18, 2012, 03:22:21 AM
I think a lot of people here are confusing best season to be a fan with best team. There aren't honestly people here who believe any team from 1998 could beat a ranked team from 2012, are there?
