well, during all of this worshipping, they won two titles and went undefeated into the national title game again. oh, and what about that win streak???

yeah... they definitely don't deserve the praise.


I'm not referring to them being a great team or not. I'm talking about everyone calling them the greatest team ever. That obviously wasn't deserved, because they weren't even the greatest team this year.



When referenced that way, it was always in the context of their accomplishments over the last few years, not this year in particular. Of course, everyone thought this team would beat Texas, too. Even without winning, they deserve to be talked about as one of the greatest college football teams of all-time. With their accomplishments, they cannot be left out. In fact, I don't believe I heard a single analyst say that they were even as good as they were last year. Everyone said that their defense was weaker, but their offense would still win it for them.
