I agree with the Miami's. They could possibly do it.The USC, Auburn, UF, and the LSU's it'd be close.

2001 version would easily do it. Not as sure about 2002. They have the talent to do it, especially in the front 7, but the team, for whatever reason, was considerably worse than they should have been defensively. Likely had something to do with an extra year under Larry Coker and being further removed from Butch Davis. Maybe they weren't as focused after losing a bunch of seniors who were hellbent on winning a national title.

I'd take 2004 USC over you as well, but that would be much closer than the 2001 Canes. The 2008 Gators were exceptional post Ole Miss. I'd probably take them, but I'm not sure about beating them a vast majority of the time.
