2005

The 2005 season saw Texas complete its return to prominence after winning the BCS Championship over Southern California in a thrilling Rose Bowl. So it should come as no surprise that the Longhorns would also top the RPR for this season as well. Texas boasted the best Win % as the nation’s lone unbeaten, along with the best Score Ratio and 2nd-best SOS. Those high marks also made sure no other team fell into co-champion consideration, although I would be hard pressed to find anyone that would be on par with this team.
