UGA might be setting the largest gap in history between football and MBB prowess in a single year.  They probably have some competition somewhere.  1995 Nebraska?

I think that award annually goes to Kansas, but I know you were talking about it going the other direction.

Nebraska’s bball team was actually posting winning records during their dominant football run in the 90s.

In the 1991-92 academic year, Miami went 12-0 in football, and 8-24, 1-17 in Big East play for basketball.

That might be your most recent contender in the direction you are talking

Yup, very close.  Miami did split the NC with UDubb that year.

But they also didn't lose a game, which would have left them in like the Citrus Bowl under 1991 rules

Yup, it's a very close comparison.  And I took us off point again.

There really weren't. 
Technically, the Big East existed, and Miami was 2-0 in conference games.
VT played 1 Big East game.
WV played 7.

None of this makes sense.

I wonder how often a team gets demoralized and mails it in.  My senior year in HS we had a very talented baseball team, but the coach was so bad we mailed it in when we got to the playoffs.  He was fired.  He was by far the worst coach I ever had.  I'm surprised we didn't quit en mass.
