1992 only scored three points against a good, but not great Arizona defense, got clobbered by Cougit losers, and lost three games. They're a disappointment and last.
2016's schedule was too weak.
2000 probably had the least talent, but they won the Rose Bowl, beat Miami, and only lost once.
2000 had more talent than people recognize. CW had NFL talent, and so did Vontoure. Pharms could've stayed in the league a while.
Fucking Neu and his "Built for Prison" program derailed a lot of that.

That secondary was legit. Daniels pharms and Triplett were all good too. They seemed to fall apart for a few weeks after williams was hurt though.
The '90 and '84 teams were both excellent. Both came within a whisker of being national champs. '16 wasn't quite at that level, but '17 should be. The '00 team was merely good, but with huge heart.
Thinking about this again...i think id rank 2000 ahead of 92. That 92 team showed very little heart or toughness in the pullman snow and just looked slow against michigan. I know there were extenuating circumstances but that was not a top 10 team at the end of the year.
The 2016 team would blow a 21 point 4th quarter lead to the 2000 team. Anyone that puts 2016 ahead of them doesn't know shit about football.
2016 was better at HC, overall coaching staff and every position except QB and kicker.
2016 was better at passing, catching, running, blocking, stopping the run, stopping the pass, returning kicks and punts.
2000 was better at field goals and coming back late in the game.
2016 would put 2000 away before halftime.
Tui would not be enough.

If only there was some example of a team that was much better than that 2000 team that they beat.

True, but 90 has by far the worst loss of any of the teams on that list. That's why they're below 84 and 16 for me.
That UCLA game in 90 was probably the most costly loss of my lifetime.

Probably true about CW and AV. That's still a lot less talent than 2016 had in the secondary though.
And if we're going by who started the season rather than who ended it that gives 2016 Mathis and Azeem and a noodle armed Jake rather than a broken noodle armed Jake.

Ugh. Good idea for a thread though. See you there.
1990 - Almost as good as the '91 team. 1992 - Pre-BJH fiasco they were good. Post? Not so much.
2016 and 2000 were about equal.
It would be hard to say 2000 > 2016, but Marques was just really hard to beat. If you put Marques on the 2016 team, it's possible no one beats them.
That 2000 team wasn't even that good. The 2016 team was a great team, but talent is way lower than the '90 and '92 teams. A clutch QB and some depth and 2016 would've been a truly great team.

Was better than all of them, and defeated the National Champion Minnesota team in the Rose Bowl.

Cakewalk.
