    The defense was so good that the team won a Super Bowl despite having Trent Dilfer at quarterback. Let that sink in for a minute.

    Mind = Blown.

    '76 Indana Hoosiers Men's Basketball Team.

    Worth the mention.

    I'm still surprised that I'm the only person who mentioned the 90's Bulls team(s).

    Yeah but that '02 was a shell of the '01 Miami team. '01 Miami is the greatest collection of talent in CFB history

    Exactly. That '01 team was just ridiculous. 21 guys from that roster made it to the NFL (13 first round picks).

    They were even better in 75, imo. Lost by 2 in the Regional Final to Kentucky after NPOY Scott May broke his arm in the last B10 game versus Purdue. They went through the B10 winning by an average of 23 points and had 4 players make the First Team. Easily would have gone back to back (undefeated) with a healthy Scott May.

    No team? Give me the 80s oilers over them.
