What exactly was so great about them? Not saying they weren't good, but they've become better over time due to NFL careers...

When they were on their game, they were amazing. They beat ranked teams in two straight weeks by a combined score of 125-7. That is a ridiculous stat. They ran roughshod over Nebraska in one of the least competitive title games of the BCS era. They were also one of the 3 most talented teams to ever step on a college football field. The only reason they aren't the unanimous GOAT is because Larry Coker was their HC and he held them back. If Butch Davis had waited another year to leave, no one would have come within 20 points of 2001 Miami, IMO.

Also, in regards to OP, I believe 2001 Florida was Spurrier's best team.
