Which of these three one-play away from a national championship team was the best? How would you rank them?
1986
1988
2002
1986
1988
2002
1986 best of those teams by far. Outscored opponents 420-136 for the season. Closest game during the season was 23-15 win vs a ranked Florida team. Seven turnovers in that championship game. Seven! And we still almost won. Most teams that commit 7 turnovers in a game are losing by 40+
1988 2nd best. Had a couple close calls that season including an insane comeback against Michigan
2002 3rd best. Probably most talented of the group, but had a lot of close calls against average teams. McGahee bailed us out in at least 4-5 games.
Absolutely correct on schedule.View attachment 362657
About 8: schedule was insanely tough, which makes that bull**** fumble call and West Virginia’s presence aggravating.
