A nice recap of the craziest year in CFB history.

LSU winning a natty with 2 losses, including in the last game to Arkansas. LSU's dominant BCS win over Ohio State started the "SEC dominance" meme that still carries through today.

Kansas and Hawaii were the only schools to finish with less than 2 losses.

The bottom 6 teams in the top 25 all finished with a 9-4 record.

The season was kickstarted with App State beating #5 Michigan in Ann Arbor, and it just got drunker from there.

A nice offseason video imo. Enjoy!

I haven't watched the vid yet, but I remember the large number of Number 1 (or top 5?) teams that lost to UNRANKED teams. Maybe the stat is mentioned. Nevertheless, I was happy to be a part of it.

The #2 team lost a lot that season.

South Florida was #2 for a week.  Then they were one of the #2s that lost.

And Boston College!

At one point in the video, they show the current top 10 (its like in week 7) and 6 of the top 10 teams at that point started the season unranked!

After winning 11 games last year, solid recruiting, and now with Charlie Strong in town , they're expecting a big push on the national stage. Lots of Bulls flags flying around here.

As they should. Charlie is a good coach. Texas never gave him the support he deserved. They used him to come in and try to clean up Mack's mess, and then kicked him to the curb. I'm glad he's out of there so I can cheer for him again.

USF is a school that can win, and Charlie is going to get some of those Florida kids to stay home I bet.

It was the craziest season I ever seen.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Yes Paul Rhoades was the DC!

That was a great football team Missouri had back then.

The most entertaining  season in my life. Cause every week you tuned in to see what would happen next.

The LSU game in Baton Rouge was one of the craziest days of my life, for sure.
