    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.

    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.

    2000
    1990
    2016
    1992

    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.
    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.

    Cakewalk.

    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.

    The voice of reason. Cheers.
