Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Here's some fun matchups, pitting the last 64 national champions.  They're not seeded, but the most recent vs furthest from the past, and so on.  I skip every 4 games to make it random-ish for a potential tournament.
.
I cheated a bit, as '65 had 2 champs, so instead of leaving one out, I just added '66 MSU in.  Instead of doing a bunch of polls and stuff, just look at the matchups and share your thoughts.  
Maybe I'll progress it, maybe not.  Just some fun off-season stuff.

I posted separately about how the size of OLs (and DLs) really jumped circa 1980ish.  I wonder if those 1960s great teams would be remotely able to deal with a 2000+ team on that basis alone.

That's why we can't envision them actually playing - every recent team would destroy every historical team.
We have to compare them by ability level, dominance of peers, and play style.

We've had this conversation before....

1997 Nebraska vs 1984 BYU

1995 Nebraska vs 1986 Penn St

2012 Alabama vs 1971 Nebraska

I like the Husker's chances in the matchups above

1994 Nebraska vs 1987 Miami

This version of Canes much bigger threat than team UNL faced in '94.

I assume the 87 team had better offense.  The 94 Cane team was stout defensively.  The 94 Huskers are one of my favorite teams.  Would be interesting..
