I'm not sure who I'd pin as the "greatest team ever". The Dolphins that did go undefeated were quite a collection and would be up there.
Sometimes the best team doesn't always win on any given day either. I think one of the best Nebraska teams was the one that was beaten by Miami in the Orange bowl some years back by a kid named Bernie Kosar. They were unstoppable until that game.
Had Turner Gill (now coach at Buffalo Univ.) hit Irving Fryar for that two point conversion, they may have received that honor. As it turnes out, the Tommy Frazier led 1995 team that took apart Florida is often mentioned as the best college team ever. Frankly, I think Frazier should have got the Heisman that year.
My personal highlight of all the years (not counting Johnny Rodgers handling kick returns - simply amazing) was seeing Warren Sapp sucking wind in the fourth quarter of the Nebraska-Miami bowl game in 1994. Nothing like shutting up the big mouths. :)

"Frazier led his team to back-to-back consensus national championships in 1994 and 1995, and he remains the only quarterback to have done so since the 1950s. The 1995 Nebraska team is considered to have been one of the most dominant in the history of American college football.[1][2] He wore the number 15 in his college days. In a 2006 ESPN.com poll, the results of which aired on Sportscenter, the 1995 Nebraska team was voted the best college team of all time."
"he tired Miami defense led by Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis could not keep up with the Nebraska option as the Huskers celebrated their first national title since 1971 and the first of Coach Osborne's career. Frazier was once again named MVP."
"Frazier teamed with Lawrence Phillips and Ahman Green to form one the most punishing rushing attacks in college football history, setting an NCAA record for averaging 7.0 yards per rushing attempt. The Huskers finished the season undefeated and were matched with the also undefeated Florida Gators in the Fiesta Bowl. Nebraska laid a 62-24 whipping on the Gators and Frazier garnered his third straight National Title Game MVP Award. "
