Here's mine, with the understanding that the best team goes 11-3 or 10-4 and the worst team goes 3-11 or so.
.
'12 Alabama.....no weaknesses
'19 LSU
'18 Clemson
'08 Florida
'15 Alabama..could just play ball-control against everyone
'20 Alabama...Saban's worst D...but his best O.
'09 Alabama
'14 Ohio State....defense keeps them this low
'16 Clemson....so many close games
'11 Alabama.....best pass D maybe ever, but couldn't pass whenever they wanted
'13 Florida St
'17 Alabama.....Jake Coker?
'10 Auburn....1-man team vs 14 national champions?  I don't see it.
'06 Florida
'07 LSU

So you deleted last night's version of this thread just to post it again this morning? 

And still no takers? :D

I figured many people had given up on the other thread.

I'm so embarrassed that my attempt to enjoy a "what if" about actual college football isn't flooded with posts!  You got me, BB.  You're the man.

I'd have to do some research...

unfortunately, the Huskers have been so far from the top 5 the past 15 years, I don't watch or study the top teams enough

and certainly my memory of 10 to 15 years ago is weak

Yeah, I jotted down a blurb on every team and ranked them as bottom 5, top 5, then figured out the middle. 
.

You just made me realize that 14 of the last 15 NCs are no further north than Clemson, SC and no further west than Baton Rouge, LA.  I've been so distracted by Alabama's run...wow.  Hell, not only that, but from 4 states that would be contiguous if not for a 75-mile stretch of Mississippi.

I don't necessarily disagree with your rankings but I would like to point out a couple things. You have your 08 Florida team higher than Bama's 09 team. The 09 Florida team that Bama crushed was virtually identical to the 08 Florida team. Virtually everybody came back fpr Florida including Tebow. That Bama team was 14-0, beat six ranked teams and had Mark Ingram. You might want to rethink that.

Maybe, but it was missing Dan Mullen in place of Steve Addazio. Mullen - not an easy replacement.

I seriously doubt Mullen would have reversed that 32-13 mauling Julio and the boys put on Florida that night.

Uhhh, no Percy Harvin, no Mullen as OC, no Carlos Dunlap.

I may have thought it through.

I always argue over game outcomes that were never played.  Well, no, I don't.  It's a silly meaningless exercise to me.

But I don't care.
