Those top-20 in winning percentage have 51 of the 53 AP NC's with the exceptions being Colorado's 1990 NC and Pittsburgh's 1976 NC.  The Buffalos are 54th in winning percentage, barely over .500 while the Panthers are 37th.

Boy, 1990 was an all-time BLIP year. 
One NC winner had a loss, tie, AND phantom win (5th down).

The 1968 NC was before I was born but the loudest cheer I think I ever heard in Ohio Stadium was during a game in my freshman year in 1993 when they had the 1968 guys back for their 25th anniversary.
I was 6 years old in 68 and this is my first memory of college football
I was a Buckeye fan until 1981, my freshman year at Nebraska
they brainwashed me

My point is that Ohio State wasn't a bad team of the type that you expect to see on the losing end of a 63-14 shellacking.  The Buckeyes weren't great but they were hardly chopped liver and Penn State just obliterated them.  I remember watching that game in Athens (I was there for their Halloween Party) and it was competitive for about a quarter.  Then Penn State just ran away with the game.  Defending the combination of Heisman Trophy candidates at QB (Kerry Collins), RB (Ki-Jana Carter), and WR (Bobby Engram) plus a stout line and quality TE was just nearly impossible.  That was a phenomenal team. 

if I could only pick one game to create, I'd pick 94 Nebraska vs Penn St. over 97 Nebraska vs Michigan
It's a damn shame the granddaddy of them all cost college football those two games

Well, its' been said on this board that some of them would prefer a trip to the RB than to the NC game for their team.
Lunacy.

Fortunately, there's a game like WHOA NELLIE COLLEGE FOOTBALL out there to play these games out and discover who would have won!

Fun fact:  Ralphie is a girl.  If it was a male, you'd need 4 new wranglers each week.

Fwiw, 2001 Miami rarely wins when I pit them against other all time teams I have.  They did humiliate 1990 Colorado though.

How many draft picks you have on a team doesn't put points on the board.  01 Miami is a very strong all-around team, but the only super-elite aspect to them is their pass D. 
Their weakness, in terms of game play, is that they pass a relatively high % of the time (45%) while having a pedestrian (for an all-time great) yards per pass attempt.

Which all makes sense to me, as despite all the accolades, Ken Dorsey was probably the weak link of the team.

you're familiar with the era

1pm kickoffs and early morning pre-game parties near the stadium

hung out with the rasslin team and the other athletes

friggin redshirt and frosh team football players and basketball and rasslers and baseball players.  Big boys played quarters with quart cups.  Keg sitting next to the kitchen table.

tough duty for mere mortals

some porches were dislodged from the front of rental houses

more kegs than eggs
