Damn ESPN... Who do you think the best Big-12 Team ever is?
...2000 Sooners?
..2005 LongHorns?
...2003 Sooners?
...97' Huskers?
...2004 Sooners?
Give logical reasons why.

2000 Sooners, best Defense the Big 12 has ever seen!
I dont think you can put 2003 Sooners on their when they didnt even win the conference...
2000 Sooners own all.
UT this year and Nebraska pre-Big12 come to mind....but I am gonna have to agree with the 2000 Sooners. Reason being...Offensive passing was crazy and the defense damn near made me shed a tear when they held the mighty CRIMINOLES to O points on Offense. I saw someone mention the other day that Peterson/Bomar was potentially the best Backfield at OU ever....but until proven otherwise, I am sticking with Heupel/Griffin. Quentin was no AD...but Rhett has gotta show me a WHOLE lot more to be on Josh's level.
Yeah I think 2003 OU has to be off. UT 05 was good but didn't have much competition from anyone else in the league. 2000 OU played several top 10 teams and won, not to mention the NC. I'd at least narrow down to NU 97 and OU 2000.
I can't wait to see what the answer to this will be in a couple of years.
Hmm will it be 2006 or 2007 Sooners...

I think the 2000 Sooners would have been more apt to take the necessary chances I didn't see SUC take to try and stop (at least slow down) VY. I think if OU 2000 played Saxet 2005 it'd be OU 23 Saxet 21.
some other Sooner backfields would have a lot to say about this...
On the original historical discussion...
1.) 2000 OU -I'll be a homer...Defense was ridiculous and Josh Almighty was a born winner
2.) 2005 Texas -or should I say 05 VY?
3.) 1997 Nebraska -Frosty the Quarterback and Dr. Tom...Columbia kick or not, these guys rolled through the year and the post season for a (shared) NC
4.) 2003 OU -I know, didn't even win the conference...but people weren't calling them the "greatest evar" for 3 months for nothing...everyone will naturally remember the collapse rather than the dominance
5.) 1998 KState - often forgotten...absolutely explosive offense behind Michael Bishop and Co. and bone jarring D. They ended up getting shafted outta the BCS and didn't bother to show up in San Antonio (similar to 03 OU)
I hate to tell you this, but Vince Young had more TDs, few INTs, and nearly the same number of yards passing this year compared to Heupel in 2000.
Also, the 2000 Q wasn't really anything special (other than the 6 TDs in Dallas).
2001 was better defensively then 2000. It's not even close.
97 Huskers
00 Sooners
03 Sooners
05 Horns
KSU team that lost to A&M(98 or 99)
04 Sooners
The 2000 Sooners played, by far, the toughest schedule of all those teams.

2000 Sooners - had to play UT, KSU and Nebbish in successive weeks, all were highly ranked. We pounded the horns, beat KSU at their place and beat a VERY good NU team at home!!! Played with heart every single game.
Then had to play the CCG in hostile territory, in the cold, and go against the criminoles for the MNC.
Sorry, but there's no way you can put the 03 Sooners ahead of this years saxeT team. There is no argument you can use to back that up.
In my opinion the best OU backfield of all time is..............................
QB-Jamelle Holieway
FB-Lydell Carr
HB-Patrick Collins
HB-Anthony Stafford
1986 Sooners - I know it is pre Big XII, and they didn't win an NC, but they are still the best in my thinking.
At that time there were 107 D1 schools in football.
Through the regular season OU ranked 101st in passing offense in the Nation.
They ranked 1st in the Nation in Rushing Offense, Scoring Offense and Total Offense.
Also ranked 1st in the Nation in Rushing, Passing, Scoring and Total Defense.
They successfully stopped 1st and goal with no points given up against Texas, Nebraska, Colorado and OkieAggie.
Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with ketchup.
I agree. The 2006 Defense will have a chance to be even better.
BOOMER SOONER!
2005 Longhorns = 2003 Longhorns - Cedric Benson
Score: OU 65 UT 13
Do you really think people would see Texas as the best BIG 12 team ever if they played top-ranked talent all season long??? What if, say the 2004 OU team did not graduate 16 seniors and OU whooped their asses again???
UT 2005 had a great run, and I'd say this any day...
1. 2000 OU (RRS = 63-14 OU walks with 49 pts on good UT team)
2. 2003 OU (had they finished correctly, BIG 12 title was a fluke, and 2004 K-State game proved it, one touchdown pass dropped gives LSU the win)
3. UT 2005 I don't hate them, I just don't think a team who nearly gets beat by the faggies-- in their worst season, should own the top-spot. Great team, but not perfect (RRS = 45-12 UT over weakened, injured, inexperienced, young OU team).
Remember VY was a freshman in that game. Also, Chance Mock had comparable talent to VY in that game. Both played and both played poorly.
