I saw the '50 team led by Renfro but was in the service in '51 although the teams were largely the same.  Renfro was extremely fast (.1 off the world record for the 100 yard dash) and way above the co

I found it humorous that the 2002 team won the Facebook vote (re: older Millennials, GenX, Boomers), and 2013 won the Twitter vote (re: younger Millennials & Gen Z). I bet if there were a mail-

What were the Joe Green years? 1967-1968. They had some really good players on those teams.

2002 Defense would sack Mason at least 4 times, probably more.  Seriously, Booger and Awasom et al against our recent O-Lines?

Only 4? I think 0-12 UTEP probably managed that.

Another add-on to the 1988 team -- not only did they beat Texas Tech and pretty much Texas (if replays were done back in 1988 like they are now it would no longer have been North Texas 24  Texas 13  Referees 14) but they also beat the heck out of Rice as well.  Going 3-0 against the Southwest Conference for all practical intents and purposes is not too shabby.

1967 vs 1977. I was in school in 1977 but have to give the nod to 1967.

1967 wins.

Voting is up for 2013 vs 2018, a choice that I dread making.

I love defense so much (2013), but I also have a place in my heart for Mason.

I think Brelan is the tie breaker here.

Plenty to love about the 2018 team, but

‘67 vs ‘02 feels like a no-brainer, but it looks like this one is coming down to the wire. Both seasons had wins against Cincinnati, but I don’t think a team that started 0-5 against FBS opponents should beat out a team that almost went undefeated(and featured Joe Greene).

That 2002 squad means a lot to me.   It made me into a Mean Green fan.   It most-certainly gets my sentimental vote all the way to the end.

That said, if I look at it objectively, I'm with you Mab2015.   Mean Joe, Steve Ramsey, & the '67 team is better.

Final game. I don't believe that 2002 and 2013 are the best teams ever. Since that is all that is left I have got to go with 2002.

Agree.

I think the means to vote (Facebook/Twitter) aided in both of these teams' advancement.  Not to mention, there aren't as many people around who watched those '67 or '77 teams.

Those two teams were not even close to be the best ever at NT.

This just shows as stated above, the bias to more current teams in this type of poll. 

Also the value of a bowl win even it was over one of the worst bowl teams ever in UNLV.

Pretty sad that our best team of all time had 4 losses and couldn’t even win their division 

That team brought me much joy, but it’s not only sad, but also pathetic, embarrassing, etc., etc.

Just imagine if 2003 didn't lose to Memphis. IMO they would've been far better. Also if 2013 didn't choke to UTSA and Tulane and maybe Ohio, they could've been one of the best G5s of the 2010s

That was the first bowl Memphis had been to in 4ever.  They went one direction and we in another sadly.
