That, and the team from my alma mater, the Banana Slugs of UC Santa Cruz.

It's pretty much the consensus of every publication that '95 Nebraska was the best college football team ever.
They played four different teams that ended the year ranked in the top 7 - and they beat them all by 23 points or more.
Florida was 12-0 going into the National Championship game that year - they went 9-0 in the SEC - beating every single SEC team by double digits - and beating the pre-season #1 Florida State team by double digits in non-confrence as well. Nebraska beat them by 38 points in the title game.
The '94 Nebraska team won the national title by 7 over Miami. They basically kept running up the middle right at Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis. Those were the toughest college football teams I've ever remember watching.
