70s games were freakin' boring. 

"Hey, we're going to run it up the middle 3 times and you see if you can stop us.  And you do the same.
We're going to try to out-tough you.  No strategy implemented at all.  Whoever has the most grit in their teeth in the end is the winner."
"Deal!"

Clearly, the 2021 Michigan team was their best ever, only that one rather embarassing loss.

1973 - nope. Bama or ND would beat them.

1976 - nope. USC beat them, and Pitt would have.

1985 - nope. OU would beat them.

1997 - nope. UNL would have beat them.

2022 - nope. Obvious.


1901 it is.

The thread title is "best of all time", which includes of course Yost teams, despite the later remark, which is irrelevant.

Okay, pretend 1901's team died in a plane crash.
Oh wait.
Nevermind.

Plane crash in 1901?

Wright brothers were a little late for that one.
