What if we finish 8-4?

Peyton Manning and Charles Woodson of the top of my head... might be more.

Who is still in the NFL that was in college in 1998?...  (no kickers please)

Those are the guys I had in mind when I made the statement, technically they were drafted in 1997, the point remains.

Tom Brady, Champ Bailey, Terrence Newman redshirted in '98

Oh I read that wrong, sorry.  I understood it as "Which players were in the NFL in 1998 that are STILL playing?".  Sorry dumb on my part.

For the larger point those two guys actually work even better.

The game was completely different in 1998. Bishop was a completely unique talent at the time and Mike Leach hadn't yet completely changed football offense

Not sure how that's relevant though, running the spread isn't compulsory. Bishops arm would be completely wasted in the spread, that offense accounts for noodle armed inferior quarterbacks.

I'm just saying the game is extremely different - the spread changed defense almost as much as it has offense
