Nat'l C'Ship Decade Tourney Fun!!!

[SteelClip49]

Selecting the 2 best teams from each decade (40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89, 90-99, 00-09) and I know 2009 has yet to be played but it's close enough...so there will be 14 teams plus 2 wild cards to set up a 16 team bracket based on what I think are the best from each decade. I will then seed them and set up who plays who, etc...

And before any of you assume I have too much time on my hands....I don't; I am actually working. I film lectures and I have some time to mess around on here considering each class is 2 hours mostly and each hour must be filmed.

So...here I go!!!

It sucks choosing Texas and I know I will get crap for not choosing 95 Nebraska but remember this is an opinion, so be gentle on me.

You should've chosen 1956 OU over 1955.

[SteelClip49]

I know every team is different but is there really a difference between the 2? Both were in the heart of the 47 game winning streak.

[SbOrOiNaEnR]

This was 30 years before I was born, but looking at the rundown of the season, they were putting up some sick, sick numbers, especially for that era of football. They weren't scored on until the 4th game of the season, pitched 6 shutouts in 10 games, and averaged 46.6 points per game. That's pretty damn impressive.

What was the score of the (2) 2005 Texas vs (7) 1945 Army game?

[goingoneight]

2000 Oklahoma.

Until you score on them, you can't say you'd beat them.

[Rogue]

Yeah, '95 Huskers.
