S&P says that would be 1959 Ole Miss, at least as of 2016.  1971 Oklahoma as the 12th best non-undefeated team of all time

  • 1959 Ole Miss
  • 2008 Oklahoma
  • 2005 USC
  • 2008 Florida

Upsets happen, best team doesn't always win, OU didn't want to be there, etc.

Hmm, weird. I pulled up 2008’s rankings. Oklahoma finished fourth in SP+ in 2008, behind three other teams.

some younger folks just have no idear how great that 71 sooner team was

very possibly the greatest team of all-time with a loss
That is my impression as well, and obviously it's just an opinion.

I believe he adjusted his formula, and then went back and re-ranked the Top 50 teams since WW2 back in 2016 or so
