Take Oberlin and the points.
Particularly when you see the newly released footage of Oberlin's coaches at the OSU-Ohio Wesleyan game the week prior

So was 1998.

Akin to '92 Bama, with a shit passing game (but a good WR), relying on the run (Dayne in his worst year instead of a 4-headed thing), and the #1 defense in the country.
Add in a great punt returner, 90% FG kicker, and a good punter.....yeah, pretty damn good.

Due to a loss to a bad Michigan team, that played two good Saturdays back to back.  Weird Michigan team.  Returned everyone but the QB from a national title team.  So they had to play some guy named Tom Brady.  Got hammered by ND and Syracuse to start 0-2.  Then kept escaping in October, 12-6 over Northwestern, 12-9 over Iowa, 15-10 over Minnesota.  Then came out in November and hammered top 10 PSU and UW in back to back weeks, before losing to OSU for like the 2nd time in a decade

Osborne picked his time to retire

he knew 98 would be a tough season

replacing most of the O-line and the QB and Ahman Green

tough on Frank

They should've fed Dan Alexander the ball, lol.  He was the fastest cube of all time.
.
Speaking of 1998...UVA's upset of UNC this past weekend was the ACC's biggest upset since Torry Holt's NC State team beat FSU in '98.

I think 1993 was closer. A stupid and inexplicable loss to the Goophs prevented UW from being the only unbeaten team. And that's how the ball bounces.

The 2011 team was 2 last-minute Hail Mary plays (OSU and MSU) from being unbeaten and would have played LSU for the MNC.

And one punter flop away from going to the Outback Bowl ;)

But seriously, that had to be Wisconsin's worst defense of that run right?  The offense was nearly unstoppable, and if the defense had been anywhere near the standard, they might win an NC.  They gave up 37, 33 and 45 in their 3 losses.  And 39 in their CCG win over MSU
