2013. They had to play more games, was loaded with talent

2013 played 1 FCS teams, 2 mid-majors, and 3 ranked teams (final rankings).

1999 played 0 FCS teams, 1 mid-majors, 4 ranked teams (final rankings).

Well this is close. 1999 WRs were loaded. 2013 secondary was sick.

Jameis was pretty darn good on 3rd down that year. Corey Simon was a beast so was Janikowski

1999 played 0 FCS teams, 1 mid-majors, 4 ranked teams (final rankings).

Exactly why I picked the 99 team.

I do think the 13 team was more fun to watch, but 99 had a tougher schedule.

I do think the 13 team was more fun to watch, but 99 had a tougher schedule.

I also picked 1999 team. 1998 was my first game at Doak so I got to see that team play essentially.

Those 1999 WRs were so good Anquan Boldin barely even played.

But the 2013 team was pretty darn balanced at every position. A lot of draft picks off that team. People forget that team didn’t lose until the next year in the playoff

Both teams faced a dynamic mobile QB in the championship game but the 1999 whooped that ass

2013 Florida St's SOS was 59th.

Played a tougher schedule doesn’t mean better team.

Played a tougher schedule doesn’t mean better team.

I was just pointing out that playing more games doesn't make it tougher.

 

[outofyourmind]

The answer is 1999

It’s more wear and tear. It was a faster game in 2013 than it was in 1999

 

[Knight&Day]

Can’t go wrong with 1999.
