Best Teams to get Completely Obliterated
« on: December 24, 2025, 08:37:39 PM »
Was perusing through youtube and came across USC's demolition of OU in the 2005 Orange Bowl.

That OU team was really good.  Jason White had a great season, Adrian Peterson was a beast.  Shutout #5 Texas in the RRR.  Beat CU 42-3 in the XII CG.  

And then they got utterly manhandled.  

Some other teams that come to mind are:
1995 Florida (UNL)
2006 OSU (UF)
2001 Nebraska (Miami)
2012 Notre Dame (Bama)...not really great, but 12-0 and all that

Who else do you remember was elite....until they reeeeeally weren't?

2014 FSU
Everyone knew they weren't GREAT, dropping a ranking spot here and there during the season, but hell, they'd won 29 straight games, so that warrants some respect.

But they didn't just lose to Oregon in the CFP.  They got destroyed.  Winston was on skates.  The Ducks passed AND ran for 300+ yards EACH on the Noles. 

It was awesome.  And striking.

I know this does not match exactly but I keep thinking about how Ohio St gor blown away in 2 straight years in 2017 and 2018 by average Big Ten teams from the Big Ten West

2017
Iowa 55, Ohio St 24

2018
Purdue 49,  Ohio St 20

Ohio St won the Big Ten both years and won the Cotton and Rose Bowls,  finishing #5 and #3 in the polls.  Ohio St both years missed the playoffs basically because of these bizarre losses.  Iowa was 7-5 in 2017 and Purdue was 6-6 in 2018.
