RANKING THE MOST DOMINANT TEAMS SINCE 2000


2. 2005 Texas Longhorns




Texas' run to the 2005 national championship ended with what was unquestionably one of the greatest plays in college football history. Vince Young's fourth-down scramble shattered USC's title dreams in the Longhorns' thrilling 41-38 victory in the Rose Bowl.

Most impressively, the remainder of the season was thin on drama.

Only fourth-ranked Ohio State stayed within 10 points of Texas, which averaged a nation-best 50.2 points. Young won basically everything but a Heisman while becoming the first college quarterback to throw for 3,000 yards and run for 1,000.

Factor in a defense that allowed just 16.4 points per game and the Longhorns controlled the game on both sides of the ball.

USC was "The Greatest Team Ever!" yet Texas isn't after beat them?

Where did Daniel Seahorn go? Did I miss something ?

Burnt Orange Nation.

Burnt Orange Nation.

Thanks. Maybe that happened while we were traveling.

Burnt Orange Nation.

He doesn't seem to be as active over there as he was here.

Less work, more pay (maybe?)...living the dream!

After watching all the NFL playoffs so far, I want Texas to have an offense that can run the ball like the Tennessee Titans can. That way they can run the ball with Derick Henry is my ideal.

Maybe we can sign Henry to a FA deal?

Need the offensive line to be solid and consistent with Bijan and Ingram carrying the ball next season.  I would like to see the power I with a FB at times.  Missing the FB Brown blocking for Ricky back in the day....good times.

Or Ricky blocking for Priest, or whoever it was.

I’d take Mahomes and Kelce instead. That was something else!

Mahomes seems to be a very nice guy with a lot of class. He certainly has a boatload of talent.

CBS WAY TOO EARLY TOP 25

TEXAS





This seems like a do or die season for Tom Herman. A rash of injuries doomed the Longhorns in 2019. The defense will have to get better in a conference that rips up the timid. Sam Ehlinger's decision to return makes Texas dangerous but too unreliable at the moment to put in the top 10.

If I were a pollster, I would be hesitant to put Texas in the top 10 as well. 

Yet, if you take a look around the roster and starting line ups for next year, you see experience everywhere. Our secondary may again be our strength next year, or one of them.

Ehlinger at the helm of the offense will be exciting to watch. The key to EVERYTHING is your QB. It starts there.

I can see the burnt orange Kool-Aid flowing SHA!  Good times!
