The 50 Most Badass College Football Teams

1986 Penn State Nittany Lions
Coach: Joe Paterno
Best Player: : Shane Conlan
Who's more badass, State College or South Beach? Joe "Coke bottle glasses" Paterno or Jimmy "Grecian Formula" Johnson? For one night at least, the answer was rural Pennsylvania and Coke-bottle Joe Pa. The '86 Nittany Lions had been ranked in the top 10 all season, had beaten then-no. 2 Alabama on the road, and took a perfect 11-0 record into the mythical national championship game at the Fiesta Bowl. But they were an afterthought to the swaggering Miami Hurricanes: an afterthought that is, until they intercepted the U's Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback five times en route to a 14-10 stunner. Needless to say, the parties in State College were considerably more badass than those in South Beach that night.

One of the most dominant teams in history..a trashing of an undefeated Oklahoma team, lead by a heisman trophy winner, and they are only #18 All Time? Your countdown is a joke!!

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.
