Was perusing through youtube and came across USC's demolition of OU in the 2005 Orange Bowl.
That OU team was really good. Jason White had a great season, Adrian Peterson was a beast. Shutout #5 Texas in the RRR. Beat CU 42-3 in the XII CG.
And then they got utterly manhandled.
Some other teams that come to mind are:
1995 Florida (UNL)
2006 OSU (UF)
2001 Nebraska (Miami)
2012 Notre Dame (Bama)...not really great, but 12-0 and all that
Who else do you remember was elite....until they reeeeeally weren't?

2014 FSU
Everyone knew they weren't GREAT, dropping a ranking spot here and there during the season, but hell, they'd won 29 straight games, so that warrants some respect.
But they didn't just lose to Oregon in the CFP. They got destroyed. Winston was on skates. The Ducks passed AND ran for 300+ yards EACH on the Noles.
It was awesome. And striking.

2014 Wisconsin.

2018 Alabama. They destroyed everyone in the regular season. But got hognozzled by Clemson in the championship game.
