Another team that should have won the title
The 1998 Team
Record: 11-1
AP rank: second
And we can’t forget about the 1998 team either. It was the preseason No. 1 team heading into the season but also fell to Michigan State in a weird game that turned on some strange turnovers and 50/50 balls the Spartans seemed to always come up with when needed. The Spartans erased a 24-9 lead, scoring 19 unanswered points in the second half to win 28-24, intercepting a Joe Germaine pass in the end zone with OSU driving for the win to seal it.
Some of the names on that team included Germaine, David Boston, Dee Miller, Andy Katzemoyer, Damon Moore, Antoine Winfield, and Michael Wiley. Prior to the 2015 team, it was the most dominant squad I had ever witnessed in my lifetime.
