1. 1971 Nebraska
2. 1904 USC
3. 1972 USC
4. 1995 Nebraska
5. 2018 Clemson

117. 1952 Georgia Tech (12-0)
Titles: None (Michigan State won AP, UPI)
Coach: Bobby Dodd
Led by: T Hal Miller, HB Bobby Morehead, C Pete Brown
What to know: The Yellow Jackets went unbeaten for the second straight season (they didn't lose in 31 consecutive games from 1950 to 1953). They shut out four opponents and allowed only 4.9 points per game. They won 10 games by 13 points or more, including a 24-7 victory over No. 7 Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl.
135. 1928 Georgia Tech (10-0)
Titles: CFRA, HAF, NCF
Coach: Bill Alexander
Led by: C Pete Pund, B Ronald Durant
What to know: The Ramblin' Wreck won every regular-season game by at least 12 points, including defeats of Notre Dame and Alabama. But it's best remembered for the 8-7 Rose Bowl victory over California, with the winning points coming on a safety after the Bears' Roy "Wrong Way" Riegels returned a fumble to his own goal line, where a teammate tackled him at the Cal 1.

What a bunch of bullshit uga at 33. Also, if they’re going back 150 years and not including the 1899 Sewanee Tigers in the top 10 then it is more bullshit. They had a six-day road trip with five shutout wins over aTm, Texas, Tulane, LSU, and Ole Miss. The only team to score on them all season was a John Heisman coached Auburn squad.

1899 Sewanee Tigers, 12-0, SIAA Conference Champions

Wouldn't 1917 arguably be our greatest team?

In my mind 2014 is our greatest year. Before y’all jump on me it was the first season of my true fandom. I started going to games in 2013 with friends and family and then I saw what the institute is capable of: real student athletes playing great ass football. I’ll never leave the bandwagon. I was never alive to see 1990 and wasn’t cheering in 2008-2010 so 2014 was the best I’ve witnessed(first hand cause I was at all the games)

I thought I read somewhere that the SOS for 1980 UG was one of if not the worst ever for a championship claim :dunno:

1990 Colorado is just an asterisk that the shameless school lacks the dignity to revoke

They didn't even play 3 out of the 4 best teams (not including them) in their own conference.
Didn't see the list. Not clicking. 1980? Maybe one of the worst national championship teams in CFB history. We were terrible. Tennessee was terrible. Florida mediocre. Look at the records of the teams they played.

Definitely one of the greatest teams of all time. Did it not make the list? Bizarre.

7/9 games were shutouts. Average margin of victory is almost 53 points. Team featured multiple all-Americans and Hall of Famers. And if you look at the quality of the opponents whom we crushed, they were no walkovers. Penn lost by 8 to Pitt (another undefeated national champ contender), but by 41 to us. Auburn beat Ohio St (Big 10 champ), but lost to us by 61. On top of all that, the first two games of the season were a double-header. Imagine doing that today.
