Off point, but the best college football I ever saw was the Washington Huskies when Emtman was there in the early 90s.
Got me to thinking that Oregon has had 4 one-loss teams since 2001.....
2001
2010
2012
2024
I probably wouldn't nominate any of them for "best ever".
But for some of us quacks who used to simply pray for a winning season of 6+ wins, the concept of having any Oregon teams with only 1 loss is still fairly mind-blowing.....
1948 Notre Dame. 9-0-1. Finished #2 in the rankings. The Irish were national champs in '46, '47 and '49. A tie with USC was the only blemish on their '48 record and it prevented ND from winning four straight national titles. I had an uncle who graduated from ND in '50 and he never saw the Irish lose a game during his time there.
