Mitch is a known dumbass that KK only has on so that we can all mock him behind his back once he is off the radio.

Obvious troll.

That may be but he is absolutely correct about this team being the best team in college football history. I'll bet when ESPN gets some downtime between our Texas game and the national championship game on ESPN, the college football analysts break down whether or not this Cats team could beat the Kansas City Chiefs.

mitch needs to keep our name out his goddamn mouth. he doesn't deserve the privilege of talking about this or any other qatz team.

There is almost no chance that is true. If you had said 5 conference road games, yeah.

Better than 98

[chum1]

98 team could have won it all.  Not this year's team.

Agreed, although I really liked both.

98 team could have won it all.

...and SHOULD HAVE won it all.

Don't get me wrong. I love this year's team. But that '98 team was loaded. There are a couple of individual players from this year's version who could've been starters on the '98 team (e.g. Arthur Brown), but position-by-position, '98 was heads & shoulders above.  Also, collectively, '98 was better as a team.

Better than 98

They acheived more, based on the difficulty of the schedule 12 faced and winning the conference, but 98 was still far closer to the promised land, and more likely the best team on the country that year.  That said, there are several teams this year better than 98 Utenn, UCLA or Florida St.

1998 was not "far closer". How can you say that? They dominated shitty teams, 2012 would have done the same, (at worst)

Nope. They weren't even better than OSU or TCU this year.

[Cire]

98 D would shut out 12 O.  might not score an offensive td but would win field position and probably block a punt or run back a kick.

The 1998 team averaged 18 more points per game against competition than the 2012 team.

These sorts of comparisons make no sense to me.

If that's available for 98, I don't think I can find it.  I'm not sure it makes a bit of difference here anyway.

[hemmy]

'98 finished ahead in efficiency as well. Not by a ton but still ahead. fan posted the numbers a while back (not including oregon obv.)

[chum1]

Average score of 48 to 13.  Jesus Christ.
