The 50 Most Badass College Football Teams

1971 Nebraska Cornhuskers
Coach: Bob Devaney
Best Player: : Johnny Rodgers
Sure, the lack of a playoff in college football sucks, but every few years, the national champ is pretty clear, brackets or no brackets. Case in point? 1971, when Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Alabama finished 1-2-3-4, respectively. Why were the 'Huskers the clear no. 1? Well, they beat the other three (whupped is more like it in the case of Colorado and 'Bama). The Cornhuskers showed no mercy on opponents in '71, winning by an average of more than 30 points per game, and beating the Sooners in the "Game of the Century" on Thanksgiving Day. Undefeated + winning the "Game of the Century" = pretty badass.

1991 Washington Huskies? Cmon if the 84 BYU is on this list (beat a 7-5 Michigan to win the NC)then the 91 Huskies surely deserve to be on this list.
