People talk about 01 Miami all the time and replace their memories with NFL memories. nobody remembers that Virginia Tech had the game won and gave it away (just needed a chip shot FG but threw an INT trying to throw the ball away to stop the clock). Nobody remembers that they had a new head coach. Nobody remembers that the Big Least was one of the worst conferences of all time. They were not just bad, they were really awful.

They were not the best team I saw that decade. They had the best talent. They had the best roster. But, they had the easiest schedule of any national champion since BYU in 1984.

They didn't even play a top 10 team yet they are crowned the best ever? They are widely viewed as the best team ever because nobody saw them play (especially Miami fans who didn't show up for the games).

People on the west coast thought they were something because they stomped Washington (finished unranked) in the dirt.

I watched a lot of their games because I was down there during that season doing business. People just look at their roster and ditto head what others say.

There are several teams on this list that would not lose to the '01 Canes.

I agree, that Miami team was absolutely loaded, but good God did they play a joke of a schedule. They also got gifted the national title by getting to play dogshit Eric Crouch and Nebraska who got absolutely boat raced by Colorado their last game of the season. Don't forget the Ed Reed pick 6 to beat that God awful Boston College team. They would get beat by several teams on the list, especially if that 02 Ohio St team beat essentially the same Miami team in 02.
