The thing about college football at that time is that the talent was more spread out than it was in the mid to late 2010s. Thats why you would see more upsets and close games by the top teams
2007’s little brother but the superior one. While everyone was mediocre in 07, there were 5 elite teams in 08 that would’ve beaten every 07 team. Florida, OU, Texas, USC, Bama
touching on the 2007 season is a disservice it is quite literally the craziest season in CFB history, from wiki: "The 2007 season was highlighted by the remarkable frequency with which ranked teams fell to lower-ranked or unranked opponents, leading the media to dub the season as the "Year of the Upset".[3] An unranked or lower-ranked opponent defeated a higher-ranked team 59 times over the course of the regular season.

2007 season is a bit of a misnomer in terms of craziness...as it is mostly down to how absolutely TERRIBLE the rankings system was at the time. Computer rankings were being given too much weight in terms of driving who was '#2'...and the polls were still the absolute shitshow from the pre-internet era. Looking back at the year, there is no way that a team like South Florida would be ranked #2 today...even if they had beaten the teams they beat then. To me, it's a quaint reminder of how important rankings are to game hype and driving engagement...but also how they can be systematically flawed.
@@dclark142002interesting interpretation but with one key problem. The BCS didn’t release rankings until after week 10, the same week that the CFP Committee currently releases their first rankings. So that means that a lot of the more odd entries like USF being #2 were done via the polls that are voted on by people not the computers. Early season rankings are always a shit show because they’re built off of speculation but a lot of odd near one-off occurrences happened that year like an FCS team beating a top 10 FBS team, Stanford beating #2 USC on the road with a backup qb after going 1-11 the previous year, or the eventual champion sneaking into the top 2 with help of a few top 5 upsets in conference championship week after losing two games in triple overtime.
Great team - yes. Greatest ever - no. The GOATS will always be 45 Army for the old era and 95 Nebraska for the new era. You cannot be a goat when your defense aint even top 30. They get the records for offense solely because of the number of games they played - otherwise based on a 12 game sample both 13 FSU and 95 Nebraska beat them.
@@membroedits Cant respect FSU when they tried to act like they were somehow mighter than any previous undefeated team to get snubbed. 2008 has a severe dark side you probably dont know about, and that major sports will never talk about..... 1. Directly after this season the MWC submitted an 8 team playoff to the NCAA and approval by all conferences. The format didnt even support the G5 - it was 7 bids for the ^ AQ champions, the highest ranked G5 champion and 1 at large. All G5 conferences signed on, but the AQ conferences didnt. 2. In response to the G5 getting snubbed in 98, 99, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07 and now 08 - they took the nuclear approach........ The University of Utah petitioned the sitting US Senator from the State to open a federal investigation into the league for Anti-trust, and then joined a 5 member university civil lawsuit against the NCAA and BCS. 3. Unfortunately for the BCS and NCAA, the G5 continued to be good, more snubs occured, more scandals followed and more universities joined these lawsuits. At the end of 2009 the civil lawsuit jumped to 8 universities, by the end of the 2010 season 11 universities were suing the league. 4. In addition to the civil lawsuits, by 2010, 4 state governments sued the NCAA and BCS for fraud, corruption, and anti-trust. At the end of the 2009 season the FBI investigated and later convicted 6 BCS sponsors of corruption. And at the end of the 2010 season the US Department of Justice and US Senate launched federal investigation and later trials for over 40 count of federal violations. 5. By the end of the 2012 season, the US Department of Justice found that the NCAA and BCS had violated 26 counts of anti-competitive practices, committed 7 counts of felony fraud, 9 counts of felony corruption and 6 counts of anti-trust behavior and recommended to the US Senate that the institutions be put on trial for major violations under per se judgement (you cannot appeal nor contest these decisions - they are final) of Clayton and Sherman (these are the laws that destroyed Rockefeller and Vanderbilt - they are only used in the most severe counts of anti-trust behavior). This topic is blacklisted in all major sports media. But you can still read the US Senate Trial transcripts and CSPAN footage of hearings. It is on record under oath in 2012, that the BCS nor the NCAA ever had any intention of creating a playoff. It is also on record that the US Senate Committee believed that it would be very likely that these institutions would be found guilty on all charges if a post season playoff system did not exist. The smallest monetary penalty for violating Sherman or Clayton federal laws is $400 Million per offense x 6 counts = $2+ BILLION penalty as the SMALLEST penalty. 3 weeks after the trial hearing - the CFP was announced. WHAT A COINCIDENCE........ You decide for yourself, but the common explanations dont make any historical sense. They claim that the CFP was thought about years prior, but that would be mean that league executives perjured themselves under oath in congress, which is a federal crime. They claim that 2011 selection was too controversial, yet historically more drastic action was taken the following season. After the selection issues in 1998 and 2001, the formula was completely changed for the 1999 and 2002 seasons respectively - so how can a season be so controversial that no action is taken for 3 years? Dont get your tin foil hat ready, its just well the timing is very very very sus......
Watching Texas v Tx Tech game was such a heartbreaking moment at a Texas fan. If big 12 rules were different Texas would’ve been 1st in the big south. If texas was a Sec or Acc team then they would’ve gone to the championship game.
Actually Texas was #1 in the conference as they won the 3 way tie. But it's the only time that a conference rejected the #1 team in the conference from entering the conference championship.
Took college football 100 years to realize 1 loss shouldn’t eliminate you from a championship. Maybe soon it will realize standings should be based on objective criteria and not the opinion of 13 old guys
You're missing the POINT. Texas Tech, is a MAJOR RIVAL of UT. Wins like that between those 2 are common. That year was there Best Team Ever. I'm an AVID UT fan since the '80's.
You act like Alabama played this mighty schedule - in reality im wondering how they were ever ranked in the Top 10: vs Clemson (7-6) - W vs Tulane (2-10) - W vs WKU (2-10) - W at Arkansas (5-7) - W at #13 Georgia (10-3) - W vs Kentucky (7-6) - W vs #15 Ole Miss (9-4) - W at Tenn (5-7) - W vs Arkansas State (6-6) - W at LSU (8-5) - W vs Miss State (4-8) - W vs Auburn (5-7) - W vs Florida (13-1) - L vs Utah (13-0) - L The combined record of teams they actually beat went a whopping 70-79...... They went from #24 to #1 in the country beating teams that went 33-42..... That is some of the hottest of garbage ive ever seen! Of the ranked teams they actually beat, what were those accolades? - #13 Georgia - 10-3 Beat #24 Michigan State in a bowl. Wow...... thats sus..... - #15 Ole Miss - 9-4 Beat #1 Florida. Great win - they also lost home to 7-6 Vanderbilt, 7-6 South Carolina and 8-5 Wake Forest (6th best ACC team).... This team didnt return to rankings until after bowls.
its a case where the preseason rankings made then look better. clemson was a preseason top-10 team that year. LSU? defending champs. tennessee was coming off a division title.
@@UserName-ts3sp And why was clemson #9 to start 2008? The previous season they went 9-4 and finished #22, the year before that they were 8-5 unranked - yet jumped 13 spots without playing a down? That looks like some total bs. LSU did win an extremely contested season in 2007 - course they also lost TWICE before they even played Alabama. Pretty amazing how you can go 6-2 losing two games 59-103 and still be considered a Top 15 team. By the same week Utah was 8-0 with 2 Top 25 wins and ranked behind this LSU team. Thats kinda sus. Tennessee was coming off a divisional title? Tenn lost 4 games by the time they played Alabama. They nearly got beat at home by 6-7 NIU, they did get beat 4-8 Wyoming (this team got destroyed in their conference - losing 6 games by 24 or more points, yet the ex SEC East winner lost to them).
@@MattBuild4as someone who remembers thats year there was a lot of hype around Clemson because of returning two star running backs, one being future first round draft pick CJ Spiller and they had their whole offense returning. The ACC was really really weak with Miami and Florida State falling off after the 05 season. Leaving only Virginia Tech as the only good program in that conference at that time
@@brandonconforto315 And that explains why Clemson ranked #9 and VT ranked #17 in preseason rankings how again? Again Clemson went 9-4 and 8-5 the two previous years so its not like that whole team was dominating the league prior.

I think it’s undisputed that 2007 was the craziest season of all time lol
You were correct in identifying 2007 as the crazier season. Living it was much different than just looking back at rankings
Nothing will ever top 2007. What a ride.
Texas’s safety dropped a wide open INT right before Crabtree scored
