Also 2001 Miami should be #1

I think they probably had the most talent of any team but I wouldn't put 'em at #1. While they were dominant in a lot of their games, they were very beatable by lesser teams in a couple of games; Boston College and Virginia Tech both had 'em on the ropes and both blew it late in the fourth quarter, especially Va Tech. And, though not Miami's fault, they played probably the worst team to make a national championship game in the BCS/CFP era, 2001 Nebraska. That Nebraska team was the first college team to make a championship game without winning their conference or division (they were obliterated by Colorado in the last regular game of the season, 62-36). That was the only team Miami played that finished in the top 10 (the final AP poll had 'em at 8).
