We’ve been blessed with some great DTs of which Tripplett was one of my personal faves.

Secondary was pretty good. Lowe akbar williams vonture and our own @DerekJohnson. They didn’t play particularly well after williams was injured but they were solid. Their interior d line was weak if I remember.
The secondary was first and second year guys that did play well beating the legend Drew Brees in a tuff Rose Bowl

I like how this thread transformed from Germie Bernard in the portal to reminiscing about the 2000 team.

Either 2016 Stanford or 2022 Oregon St
Both were 10 win teams
Completely. I mean they didn’t lose again for 30+ games until the tOSU Clarett/Tressel fiesta bowel.
I would suggest that no football team has ever played in Husky stadium with as much talent on the roster as 2000 Miami. And that includes when the Seahawks played there.
(No idea how to do the research to back that up so I’ll go with it)
Not really going to argue the point but some legendary USC teams have been to Husky Stadium
John McKay teams loaded with hall of fame guys
Either way
Imagine your high point being three NY losses
Hang in there kid
Trick question, same year beating 2000 11-1 Beavlet who probably woulda won the natty if we didn't ruin it.
Excluding 2000?
I'm going to say Michigan State 2022 just so Damone suffers a stroke when he reads this over tears and whisky as he lurks logged out.

I know you're being sarcastic but I don't abide by fully diminishing ranked wins just because they end up looking worse later in the season.
The obvious reason is that if said ranked team doesn't lose then they would have another win and have a better record. The second less supported reason is that athletes of all levels are walking, running mental midgets that can and do get swayed in confidence by things like an early ass kicking by a big out of conference team.

Well you should abide. Early rankings are subjective bullshit based on a few fat fuck writers who couldn't hack it at actual publications and had to settle for sports. MSU proved themselves to be a bottom rung B10 team. Them being top 15 for the first couple of weeks was completely meaningless.
Since you were there, you are right. I had to go look it up.
The U 2000 team still only has 1 HOFer: Ed Reed.
Reggie Wayne and Andre Johnson are the other two who seem likely to make the hall, but with the inflation of WR stats who knows when or if that will happen.
Vince Wilfork was a freshman and he is the other who might make it. I mean someone from those Patriots teams besides Brady/Belichik has to. I don't think Jonathan Vilma did enough.
1957 and 1959 hosting USC, Trooj has Willie Wood and Ron Mix.
1979 hosting USC should have had Marcus Allen, Ronnie Lott, Anthony Munoz and Bruce Matthews on the team. That's the only year the 4 of them were on the same roster (going off their wikipedia career info). 1981 would have had Allen and Matthews, 1977 Munoz and Lott.
