December 30, 20186 yr First off, 2005 Texas is the greatest team of all time, led by the greatest player of all time. Period. Second, this is just a totally different era of college football, and the fact is that the 2005 Texas roster would CRUSH shit in today's game. Imagine the different ways we could deploy and utilizie an offesnive backfield of VY, Ramonce, Jamaal, Selvin, and Ahmard Hall, not to mention David Thomas, three NFL O linemen, Limas Sweed, Quan Cosby, etc. And a defense featuring, what, 9 future NFL players? More? Stupid talent. So yeah, 2005 Texas may still be the greatest team ever, but this Bama team is as good as I've seen since then. Clemson is pretty fucking ridiculous too. The guys who will play for the national title this year were in first and second grade when the 2005 team conquered the mighty Trojans. The game today is so different; players are bigger and faster yet also somehow sleeker and smaller, depending on which position group you're talking about. D linemen are smaller, offenses are faster and more modern, every team has a QB who can run (thanks to #10). Point being, even though it's less than two decades later, it's hard to compare teams across eras, and these two teams to in fact lay in different eras. All I know is it would be a helluva game if they could somehow sqaure off.
December 30, 20186 yr You really think there’s a defense that could stop that 05 offense under today’s rules? They might score nearly every possession.
December 30, 20186 yr Lol, no. Vince is and always will be on another level. That usc team is better than this Bama team
December 30, 20186 yr And the defense would shut bama down...lije you said that d had like 9 nfl starters

This is the best team Bama has had. That USC squad wasn’t even as good as the previous year’s version, their defense was mediocre.
December 30, 20186 yr Just now, formermav43 said: No, they weren’t. This is the best team Bama has had. That USC squad wasn’t even as good as the previous year’s version, their defense was mediocre. Their defense looked mediocre because of Vince. Also, that team had the same players as the year before, just older.

Oh, except the 4 1st team All-Americans they lost. They might have been important. They played other teams than Texas. They looked mediocre against them too (see Fresno State, the game that won Bush the Heisman because he returned so many kickoffs after they kept scoring).

Their main players on offense and two Heisman winners? Bama is better than two Heisman winners back to back? No.

USC lost a bunch of starters off of the 2004 defense - including DL Patterson and Cody, LB Grootegoed and Tatupu (all massive contributors) plus a couple of DBs. The 2005 defense was probably the worst defense Carroll had there - they looked mediocre all year
December 30, 20186 yr You mean this ou offense that has a worse defense than that usc team by a wide margin, and who is only down 11 after being down 28 because of a really shitty 1st quarter?

One player for ou is keeping them in the game down by 11, but this bama team would beat a usc team with two Heisman winners on offense that averaged 60 points a game.
