They beat 1 team ranked in the final ap poll Nebraska at #8.
Miami fans claim there was 40 plus players drafted off that team. If they were so loaded why did they only won 1 title in 2001 why not 2000 or 2002.
2002 they got screwed but talent wise they should have beaten OSU by 24.
They had a bunch of NFL talent but accomplishment wise 2001 was weak.

They probably should have played Oklahoma in 2000. They actually beat Florida State but that loss to Washington in game 2 was held against them all year.
They were definitely robbed in 2002.

I’ve always felt they and 95 Nebraska, while both great teams, are a little overrated. Not all of those 1st round draft picks on 01 Miami even played much that season
I can’t believe there’s not a Saban coached team that has as many of not more 1st rd draft picks on one of his teams

Second best team of all time!

What a terrible take. The correct answer is 1990 Georgia Tech who beat one good team in Clemson.

2001 Tennessee would have given them a game in the Rose Bowl. 2001 Florida would have been a tough out for the U too that year. Thanks LSU and John Chavis

Over the last 20 years, that team has almost reached GOD like status Bc of NFL careers…not the 2001 season.

What a misguided take. Miami could have named the score against Nebraska in the Rose Bowl. 2001 was still an era before the PlayStation offenses like today. Miami could have won 3 in a row but as another poster mentioned, they got down big early and the rally fell short against Tuiasosopo and Washington in the 2nd game. Miami paid them back the next season 62-7. FSU laid an egg against Oklahoma and that gave OU the title. The 2003 Fiesta Bowl OT pass interference was robbery even though Miami should have won regardless and not give up a 4th & 12. A 34 game winning streak and only 1 title is hard to do but losing the 2nd game then the final game 2 seasons later will do that. 4 horseman, recognize…

UGA would’ve beaten both Miami and Ohio St. in 2002.

I think there was an undefeated BYU team who was named national champs after beating a 6-5 Michigan team in their bowl game.

Miami was robbed vs OSU in that 2002 season. Should have been another championship.

Washington, Syracuse, Florida State, and Virginia Tech all finished 2001 ranked, and lost to Miami

Mid 90s Nebraska was an absolute machine. Completely eviscerated 95 Florida and 97 Tennessee.
I do agree FSU probably would have faired a lot better due to familiarity with Osbourne's teams.

To be fair, the 2000 Miami team was screwed by the BCS. They should have gotten in over Florida State, and they most likely would have beaten Oklahoma. The 01 and 02 teams were coached by Larry Coker, the fact they won every game up until the Ohio St game (which they should have won) shows just how talented those teams were.
The 2001 Miami was loaded with future NFL pro bowlers. Not just NFL draft picks, not just NFL starters, NFL pro bowlers. That team is the closest to an NFL team you will see in college football. They won in spite of their coach.

Y’all can just say you don’t remember the 2001 Miami team. It’s fine. If you watched them, you know they were fricking crazy.

This thread will be a quick detour for Alabama and aggy fans on this board.

2019 LSU had the most accomplished season ever.

Then by your own defintion they were a talented team.
They won 1 and should have 1 another if not for the referee calling the PI penalty.
So, 2 championships in 2001 and 2002 and they went 11-1 in 2000.
You must be a kid because in 2001 that team was one of the best ever.
