Here's what Google found per your advice...

quote:

2001 Miami Hurricanes, The G.O.A.T. College Football Team

The offense set the school scoring record, while the defense led the nation in scoring defense (fewest points allowed), pass defense, and turnover margin.

Here are some players form that team:

Ken Dorsey, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Najeh Davenport, Frank Gore, Jeremy Shockey, Andre Johnson, Kevin Beard, Bryant McKinnie and Joaquin Gonzalez, Jerome McDougle, William Joseph, Vince Wilfork, Jonathan Vilma, D.J. Williams, Ed Reed, Mike Rumph, Phillip Buchanon, Kellen Winslow II, Sean Taylor, Antrel Rolle, Vernon Carey, and Rocky McIntosh.

17 players went on to be 1st round draft pics
Largest margin of victory over consecutive ranked teams (124-7)

In the gumps defense, no one thought that 01 Miami team was the goat during or right after the year. It wasn't until people realized all the draft picks they had.

Just wanted to point out.. Bama's 2009 is catching up. 10 players have gone 1st round that played on that team. 10 others drafted in other spots. Will be interesting to see where some more will go this year, that played on that team.
