One thing is to have hall of fame players/pro-bowlers coming from one school, but to have so many come from one assembled team is mind blowing. The back ups were future pro-bowers too ..
@@HarrisonHollers I think he meant it's not fair that someone that great was riding the bench because the team was so stacked ahead of him. Backups were better than whole other squads
The impact of those 2000-2002 Hurricane squads on the league cannot be understated. One of the least talented athletes on the roster was Ken Dorsey, and he went 38-2 as a starting QB in college football, coached Cam Newton into a Pro Bowl/Super Bowl QB, and helped Josh Allen become one of the best QB's in the league as his QB coach.
As crazy as this team was in terms of recruiting.....all Miami did was stay local to build this team. SO like 80-90% of these guys were from south Florida alone.
In recruiting they called that winning the state of Miami. Howard Schnellenberger (may he RIP) had a philosophy: draw an imaginary line from I-4 from Daytona Beach to Tampa and declare everything below that the State of Miami. They went after the best players in South Florida, other players from around the state and some elite recruits from around the country. If Miami could lock up all the South Florida kids it would be hard to beat them. Hell the state of Florida itself along with Texas, California and maybe Ohio are the best places to get college football recruits
Jimmy Johnson was once quoted saying if he was only allowed to recruit from Key West to Tampa and sign every kid he offered a scholarship it would be alright by him.
My Dad always pointed this out to me... Of all the Canes greats, none were drafted by the Dolphins. You got all these guys in your backyard and you don’t have to pay for scout travel... But still never draft one player. RIP Pops
No they really wouldn't. That team lost the next year to Ohio State. Sure they had lost some players but not all. Personally I'd put the 2004 Trojans against any team considering at the college level you had 2 if the greatest college players of all time.
@@Blank2SS oh you mean like they made Ohio State look horrible? Not saying they don't have a claim to the best team ever but to suggest they would mop the floor with any team in history? Well that's just disingenuous
I feel for Miami, the people, the football culture. With the current college culture "The U" is not allowed to be "The U". That attitude, ferocity, and determination aren't allowed in today's game. The farce of amateurism and dominance of female energy on campus won't allow for it.
Miami is utter garbage now but it’s ok, every school goes through it. Alabama was horrible for years and now they’re the most successful dynasty in college (if not sports) history. 10+ years of absolute domination
"...many people thought the 11-1 Miami Hurricanes were snubbed by not playing in the National Title game...," including Bobby Bowden, whose team DID play in said National Title game. The 2000-2002 Canes were snubbed out of 1 Title appearance (2000), & robbed of a title repeat (2002). Greatest team ever.
“In that era” you can’t compare eras. The game was different and athletic development/game planning was so behind what it is now. You put that Miami team against 2015-16 Alabama and they lose by at least 30.
You’re high. The worst nfl team right now would absolutely demolish any college team in history. Nfl teams are made of the very best college players at their prime game. I hate that argument so much because it’s complete nonsense
Growing up in Miami in the 90s, and early 2000s... i can tell you that fla teams were dominant due to in state recruiting. I was a huge college football fan back then and i used to watch the canes, noles, gators, golden knights, and bulls. Florida has always had the best high school football talent in the country. Back then the rest of the country didn't know it so these kids stayed in state. Now the secret is out and a lot of them end up at ohio state, clemson, Alabama, michigan, etc. But in those days they stayed in state. Now what makes fla a hotbed of high school football talent? Honestly i think somehow the warm climate breeds superior athletes. But who knows
Its the culture, the way that the game is played AND TAUGHT at the youth football level, the parks in the hood that produce great athletes that all of the local high schools fight over. The kid from the ghetto whom football is not just a game, but a way out of a life misery into bliss! thats football in South Florida. That's what separate's our kids from the others around the country.
Two words: The Muck. All those kids in poverty around Lake Okechobee who’s chase rabbits for food and spending money when they set the sugar cane fields ablaze during the harverst have speed for days. Places like Clewiston, Belle Glade, Pahokee and others have had tons of college and NFL talent come outta there. Andre Waters, Fred Taylor, Reidel Anthony, Anquan Bolden and many others.
This was the first team that came to mind. I was only 6 when this team was at Miami, so when I looked back at the roster of that team I couldn’t believe how many players they had that went on to be some of the best at their position in the NFL. Ridiculous how many names I instantly recognized from that team.
2001 Miami defense. 13 TDs allowed, while scoring 8 themselves. Averaging 4 takeaways PER GAME!!! It was my privilege to see them twice. The beat down of FSU in Tally, and the mutilation of the Washington Huskies in the OB 65-7…. There will never be another team like them… Perfect in all aspects!!!
Frank Gore, Antrel Rolle, Sean Taylor, & Vince Wilfork were backup players who hardly saw the field on this team. Also, Mke Vick was injured in the'Canes 2 point win over VT.
I was a sophomore at Penn State and went to that Miami game! I didn't realize even to this day that was JoePa's biggest home loss??? I also learned that weekend LaBatt Blue is disgusting. Even though we lost 33-7, I remember me and my friend talking about how good that Miami team was and at the end of the season I thought I was fortunate to have watched them in person. Now I feel honored because they were SO GOOD.
Cool story I can somewhat relate. I'm a long time Chiefs fan and I went to the 2019 season opener vs the Jags. Chiefs went on to win their first Superbowl in 50 years. I often think I'm glad I was able to see the team that finally pulled through in person.
And its crazy how alot of them played together in the league too, lol. Like I remember specifically Washington had a bunch of players from The U (Portis, Santana Moss, Rocky McIntosh, Sean Taylor)
of course, but the average fan who doesn’t pay attention to them will always clown them, and of course there is other players who I missed, I just thought it was a cool idea 🤷♂️
@@richardharvey6938 no, but I must have missed when Dorsey did anything good in the pros because he sucked in the NFL. At least the rest of the roster actually did something at the next level.
That’s not the point though about his league career it the fact that even though he was a system player he still lead that team with all that talent and put up numbers to get him on draft boards
Most impressive about that Washington squad was their complete shutdown of Heisman winner Desmond Howard who'd been running his trap back then leading up to the Rose Bowl! He ended up a near blank in that game! Huskies' defense rendered him non-existent! No factor whatsoever
@Swarthy One they did in fact beat Nebraska 22-0 in that year's Orange Bowl! I think u meant play Washington! Those two split the national championship
There is a video of Tom Brady explaining why a quarterback should not throw the ball to certain spots on the field. The '01 'Canes were the epitome of that reason and, it's why they are the best college football team of all time.
Before Alabama kids, there was a team called Miami Hurricanes were the roster was deep, did I say Deep? The bench players even had back up, if you are injured you won’t get your spot back, sad to say but it’s true.
I say 2013 FSU. QB-Jameis Winston RB-Devonte Freeman WR-Rashad Greene, Kelvin Benjamin TE-Nick O’Leary Defense Jalen Ramsey, Telvin Smith, Lamarcus Joyner, Eddie Goldman, Mario Edwards. I mean cmon this team would have success at the NFL level
@@raidersacdc4892 they'd win but I don't think they would have bitch slapped them! Reason being is due to the athleticism of the '13 Seminoles, and their team speed! '01 Miami would beat them a bit worse because they were better on both sides of the ball than '95 Nebraska! U hafta remember the evolution of the skill positions over time! I think both would win, but the '13 Noles would have made it competitive
@@raidersacdc4892 The '95 Nebraska defense didn't hafta face anyone the quality of '01 Miami, or any of the other historically prolific offenses! That Nebraska defense was rarely tested
Do more videos like this documenting history/ past teams and stories. The clickbait won’t last forever! I love this channel, subscribed since 2k but y’all have to change course with the content a little bit. The potential is there to expand into something really big. Edit: Also keep Justin Fraction! His voice is really perfect for this
I can't deny the talent stacked on that 2001 Hurricanes squad. I remember at the end of the season that year they destroyed my UDub Huskies in Coral Gables.
2018 Clemson Tigers went 15-0 for the first time in a 100 years. Best ever is on the rings. Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne, Justin Ross, Tee Higgins, Hunter "the GOAT" Renfrow, and the starting defensive line all went in the fist and second round in the draft
Texans Tom, I’d say we have to give it a few years to see how great that team was in retrospect. Remember this Miami team played all the way back in 2001. That’s 18 years to look back on it. This past years tigers will probably be recognized as one of the greatest teams of all time. Just give people time to see what they really did. See, a good bit of that team is still in college. Not to mention, very often people don’t know how great something was until years later when they look back and are like “wow that was one of the greatest teams ever. I can’t believe we didn’t see it then.” (Ps. I’m a gamecocks fan. So see some of us can give credit where credit’s due)
Texans Tom that Clemson team is one of the greatest but they was not fucking with that 01 Miami team Miami football had a different mentality 😭😭😭😭 hit stick and bust dick dem cans are the shit 😭😭😭
@@mikexxxmilly Of that era.... that is translated to mean you are unable to do so because it's difficult. You can compare eras. This Canes squad would have wiped the field with ANY Saban team and any that came before or after. 95 Nebraska and 05 USC would have been beaten soundly. Texas with Vince Young? No problem for this defense.
And put this in perspective as well. Construct an ALL TIMER COLLEGE TEAM. Alabama and Miami would be neck and neck, but I can't deny a team that has Vinny Testaverde, Edge, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Michael Irvin, Andre Johnson, Bryant McKinnie, Jerome Brown, Cortez Kennedy, Jeremy Shockey, Jim Otto, Antrel Rolle, Santana Moss, DJ Williams, Dan Morgan, J. Gonzalez, Brett Romberg...I mean all these guys are greatest of all time, hall of famer, pro bowlers or elite award winning college players. This team in prime college form would obliterate and win every Natty for decades until Alabama or some other team comes up. It's tough to top that.
And I am not naming players like Devin Hester, Mike Rumph, Clinton Portis, Frank Gore, Kellen Winslow, Chuck Foreman, Jessie Armstead, Benny, Brian and Al Blades, Greg Olsen, Russell Maryland, Randall Hill, Alonzo Highsmith...I mean this the DEPTH CHART PEOPLE!
It has already been pointed out they came close to a loss twice. 95 Nebraska had zero close games. And you do not compare teams from different years against each other. How they did against their opponents from their respective year(s) is what you go by.
Kentuckys head coach Mark stoops recruited and coached ed reed and Sean Taylor, then he went on to build the defense of the 2013 Florida State championship team as well. Now he has built what was once a bottom feeding SEC football program in Kentucky into a solid program, and their continuing to recruit better and better evey year. I was a hurricane fan as a kid and knew everyone on the team and every coach, i then moved to Kentucky when i was 14 and became a KY fan. I was super excited when they hired Mark stoops.
I want to point something out Alabama is a great team,but the reason for that is they recruit from Florida so does Georgia and Ohio state,I am a cane fan but I like to see Florida players go to the U Florida state or Florida then we'll see the 80s and 90s again
It's going 2 happen again w/ Mario Crisrobal leading the troops. National Champs next year! Especially if quarterback TVD comes back for his senior season!
2001 Carolina Panthers won their 1st game, against the Minnesota Vikings (who went 5-11), had the largest point differential (-157). While I will never believe a college team could beat an NFL team, even as one as stacked as the 2001 Miami Canes, this is probably the best argument for it.
No. I’m a Canes fan but this team would not have beaten an NFL team at the time. Yes, this team produced so many Pro Bowlers and Hall of Famers but they were all 20 somethings and not Pro Bowlers/HOFers yet. Don’t forget that we had Ken Dorsey (one of the most underrated college QBs ever) at quarterback and he didn’t exactly light up NFL defenses did he?
Im a diehard USC fan but that 2001 Miami team is the best CFB team of all time, my top 3 would be 1. Miami 2001 2. USC 2004 3a. Texas 2005 3b. Alabama 2012
And Alabama 2011, not '12 was Saban's best! To not only humiliate then #1 LSU 21-0, but to hold them to 93 total yards of offense says it all! The way their defense played that night, they could have beaten anybody
Just imagine how good Taylor would have been. He was already arguably the best safety in the league and had the makings of being the best ever. Never seen anyone with the ball hawking skills and killer instinct all in one like him. RIP
This is by far the one college team that could have committed with the worst NFL team. Most of them had an immediate impact in their first year in the pros.
@@ninjafarmer9779 what does that have to with what they did in college?. UGA currently has the most active NFL players from one school yet no national titles for UGA.
This is a debate that will never have a certain answer. I'm just thankful that 71 and 95 Nebraska is always mentioned in these discussions because there's a shit load of power house football schools that never even get brought up. You always hear about the Huskers, Canes, Trojans, Horns and the Tide. You never hear anything about the Sooners, Wolverines, N-lions, Gators, Ducks, Irish, Buckeyes and others. To be one of the 5 teams always mentioned in this topic is a huge honor.
Tommie Frazier is the best college player I have ever seen, the 95 team wasnt built like an NFL team so they were never going to have to pro players Miami had. Would love to see the 01 Miami D vs 95 UN offense
That 2013 FSU team was real good but their '99 team was stoked! That was the best Seminole team of all-time and they validated by holding off superhuman Michael Vick in the Sugar Bowl
@@cmoneyno5 they ('93) we're good but they lost the one game that truly validated their season to ND, who then turned around a week later and couldn't even beat Boston College on the same home field! '99 completed the entire job!

True, but Y’all def didn’t make it easy up there in Blacksburg
BigLorde BunnyRabbit true I been to the stadium a couple times it was fun going to the games but the program has its history
1995 Nebraska was better but this Miami team is the best NFL ready team ever

Jim Rowell so true
18 years later, Frank Gore is still playing. 😐
20 now
That is insane! Especially for a running back! And he's a ground in pound running back. Crazy!!
That's so damn crazy!!
Old man Gore.
He truly is under rated fs id love to see him go to a better team for the last few years of his career if i remember right hes at NY jets rn

Dovonte Hayes facts!
Maybe not a quarter of today's teams but if some were still alive they would absolutely kill the Miami dolphins by like 4 touchdowns
No they really wouldn't. That team lost the next year to Ohio State. Sure they had lost some players but not all. Personally I'd put the 2004 Trojans against any team considering at the college level you had 2 if the greatest college players of all time.

@Swarthy One they did in fact beat Nebraska 22-0 in that year's Orange Bowl! I think u meant play Washington! Those two split the national championship
@Swarthy One Miami vs Washington in '91 would have been epic
There is a video of Tom Brady explaining why a quarterback should not throw the ball to certain spots on the field. The '01 'Canes were the epitome of that reason and, it's why they are the best college football team of all time.
2008 Urban Meyer Florida Gators were scary too 💯
They had a loss
Thanks for doing this one. This squad still doesn’t get the respect they deserve. The only way they’ll get that is by spreading the word.
Top 10 Major Leaguers who played in the Little League World Series.
Bro how does your d score 8 TD for the season and only allow 13 that is mind-blowing and will never happen again
2001 was such a great season for college football and Miami led the way.
Before Alabama kids, there was a team called Miami Hurricanes were the roster was deep, did I say Deep? The bench players even had back up, if you are injured you won’t get your spot back, sad to say but it’s true.
Willis magahee is my favorite collegiate RB of all time
Those early 2000s Miami Hurricanes team was a good time to watch college football
I say 2013 FSU. QB-Jameis Winston RB-Devonte Freeman WR-Rashad Greene, Kelvin Benjamin TE-Nick O’Leary Defense Jalen Ramsey, Telvin Smith, Lamarcus Joyner, Eddie Goldman, Mario Edwards. I mean cmon this team would have success at the NFL level
'01 canes had a better defense
Sorry no way...Both 95 Nebraska & 01 Miami would bitch slap that FSU squad
@@raidersacdc4892 they'd win but I don't think they would have bitch slapped them! Reason being is due to the athleticism of the '13 Seminoles, and their team speed! '01 Miami would beat them a bit worse because they were better on both sides of the ball than '95 Nebraska! U hafta remember the evolution of the skill positions over time! I think both would win, but the '13 Noles would have made it competitive
@@raidersacdc4892 The '95 Nebraska defense didn't hafta face anyone the quality of '01 Miami, or any of the other historically prolific offenses! That Nebraska defense was rarely tested
Do more videos like this documenting history/ past teams and stories. The clickbait won’t last forever! I love this channel, subscribed since 2k but y’all have to change course with the content a little bit. The potential is there to expand into something really big. Edit: Also keep Justin Fraction! His voice is really perfect for this
I knew before I clicked on the link who the team was because I was in college then
I can't deny the talent stacked on that 2001 Hurricanes squad. I remember at the end of the season that year they destroyed my UDub Huskies in Coral Gables.
That 2001 Miami hurricanes could beat some NFL teams like the Miami dolphins
2018 Clemson Tigers went 15-0 for the first time in a 100 years. Best ever is on the rings. Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne, Justin Ross, Tee Higgins, Hunter "the GOAT" Renfrow, and the starting defensive line all went in the fist and second round in the draft
Texans Tom 01 hurricanes would obliterate Clemson.
Texans Tom, I’d say we have to give it a few years to see how great that team was in retrospect. Remember this Miami team played all the way back in 2001. That’s 18 years to look back on it. This past years tigers will probably be recognized as one of the greatest teams of all time. Just give people time to see what they really did. See, a good bit of that team is still in college. Not to mention, very often people don’t know how great something was until years later when they look back and are like “wow that was one of the greatest teams ever. I can’t believe we didn’t see it then.” (Ps. I’m a gamecocks fan. So see some of us can give credit where credit’s due)
Texans Tom that Clemson team is one of the greatest but they was not fucking with that 01 Miami team Miami football had a different mentality 😭😭😭😭 hit stick and bust dick dem cans are the shit 😭😭😭
Whatever!
You know ur team is full of monsters when Sean Taylor ,McGhee,gore where backups that not fare they actually had probowl team
Easily the best team of all time & I'm a BAMA fan..#rolltide
See y'all on the 4th
Thanks bro
Of that era. You can’t compare eras.
@@mikexxxmilly Of that era.... that is translated to mean you are unable to do so because it's difficult. You can compare eras. This Canes squad would have wiped the field with ANY Saban team and any that came before or after. 95 Nebraska and 05 USC would have been beaten soundly. Texas with Vince Young? No problem for this defense.
38 of 80+ plyrs drafted. 17 first round picks. 13 perennial pro bowler. 5 guaranteed HOFers. The 🙌
If you could assemble teams from each college program…. Miami would without doubt run through every one!
Damn bro, chill lol 😂
And put this in perspective as well. Construct an ALL TIMER COLLEGE TEAM. Alabama and Miami would be neck and neck, but I can't deny a team that has Vinny Testaverde, Edge, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Michael Irvin, Andre Johnson, Bryant McKinnie, Jerome Brown, Cortez Kennedy, Jeremy Shockey, Jim Otto, Antrel Rolle, Santana Moss, DJ Williams, Dan Morgan, J. Gonzalez, Brett Romberg...I mean all these guys are greatest of all time, hall of famer, pro bowlers or elite award winning college players. This team in prime college form would obliterate and win every Natty for decades until Alabama or some other team comes up. It's tough to top that.
And I am not naming players like Devin Hester, Mike Rumph, Clinton Portis, Frank Gore, Kellen Winslow, Chuck Foreman, Jessie Armstead, Benny, Brian and Al Blades, Greg Olsen, Russell Maryland, Randall Hill, Alonzo Highsmith...I mean this the DEPTH CHART PEOPLE!
Love the Canes!
I dare anyone to debate another team against these guys. They were unstoppable.
It has already been pointed out they came close to a loss twice. 95 Nebraska had zero close games. And you do not compare teams from different years against each other. How they did against their opponents from their respective year(s) is what you go by.
This team was 💯 pure TALENT
Simply put...
The 🙌!!!
Also gotta mention with all the accolades everyone won from that team, there are a bunch of pro bowls missing, rip Sean Taylor, gone too soon
Kentuckys head coach Mark stoops recruited and coached ed reed and Sean Taylor, then he went on to build the defense of the 2013 Florida State championship team as well. Now he has built what was once a bottom feeding SEC football program in Kentucky into a solid program, and their continuing to recruit better and better evey year. I was a hurricane fan as a kid and knew everyone on the team and every coach, i then moved to Kentucky when i was 14 and became a KY fan. I was super excited when they hired Mark stoops.
I want to point something out Alabama is a great team,but the reason for that is they recruit from Florida so does Georgia and Ohio state,I am a cane fan but I like to see Florida players go to the U Florida state or Florida then we'll see the 80s and 90s again
It's going 2 happen again w/ Mario Crisrobal leading the troops. National Champs next year! Especially if quarterback TVD comes back for his senior season!
I was confident making it half way through , that he wouldnt mess up someone's name.... then he butchered mcgahee... smh
Lmao I knew if any name would be mispronounced it was going to be McGahee
Oh. I came here hoping for the best super team TPS could create..for an example in college, QB: Matt Leinart, RB: Jamal Charles, etc.
So they probably could've beaten an NFL team.
2001 Carolina Panthers won their 1st game, against the Minnesota Vikings (who went 5-11), had the largest point differential (-157). While I will never believe a college team could beat an NFL team, even as one as stacked as the 2001 Miami Canes, this is probably the best argument for it.
Probably not, but the 01 hurricanes definitely had the best shot. They didn't just have NFL-ready talent, they had pro-bowlers and Hall of Famers
No. Lol!
No. I’m a Canes fan but this team would not have beaten an NFL team at the time. Yes, this team produced so many Pro Bowlers and Hall of Famers but they were all 20 somethings and not Pro Bowlers/HOFers yet. Don’t forget that we had Ken Dorsey (one of the most underrated college QBs ever) at quarterback and he didn’t exactly light up NFL defenses did he?
I used to believe they could, but the NFL is a different beast...even Ed Reed said (during his HOF speech), that the '01 Canes would've gotten smoked
Im a diehard USC fan but that 2001 Miami team is the best CFB team of all time, my top 3 would be
1. Miami 2001
2. USC 2004
3a. Texas 2005
3b. Alabama 2012
2 is 1995 Nebraska
Agree with the Top 2, then '95 Nebraska third and '05 Texas 4th
And Alabama 2011, not '12 was Saban's best! To not only humiliate then #1 LSU 21-0, but to hold them to 93 total yards of offense says it all! The way their defense played that night, they could have beaten anybody
The 2000 team I thought might have been better with Santana Moss, Reggie Wayne and Dan Morgan.
This is based on NFL success after college. The best college team has nothing to do with what happens after.
Amen to this.
Just imagine how good Taylor would have been. He was already arguably the best safety in the league and had the makings of being the best ever. Never seen anyone with the ball hawking skills and killer instinct all in one like him. RIP
And E.D. Reed is in the HoF. They had TWO NFL HoF'rs at Safety. On a COLLEGE team.
do biggest draft bust from every position
I wish people would just except this as a fact and stop fighting it….this team was INSANE! 4-5 HOF on one team
2008 Florida was pretty tough
Yea but not better than this team.. I'm a Florida fan too.
That Miami team had speed all over the field at every position, playing the 08’ Gators wouldn’t even have been close
This miami team wouldve beat the brakes off that team
Imagine trying throw the ball on a defense with Sean Taylor and Ed Reed

This is by far the one college team that could have committed with the worst NFL team. Most of them had an immediate impact in their first year in the pros.
1995 Nebraska corn husker
Me and my brother was just talking about this team. My God all the greats that came out of that team
The list went on and on and on......they were the human form of the Energizer bunny
17 first round draft picks - truly unprecedented!
Wrong. 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers. Beat (blew out) 4 top 10 teams, average PPG of 52, and 27 NFL players.
Bbeech 44 were a lot of the players on that team players who got in to the nfl hof?
@@ninjafarmer9779 what does that have to with what they did in college?. UGA currently has the most active NFL players from one school yet no national titles for UGA.
Garrett Hampton there heart and soul was Lawerence Phillips kinda like Vince Young for Texas
Ninja Farmer who cares about what they did in the nfl? It’s best team in COLLEGE football history
Legacy
This is a debate that will never have a certain answer. I'm just thankful that 71 and 95 Nebraska is always mentioned in these discussions because there's a shit load of power house football schools that never even get brought up. You always hear about the Huskers, Canes, Trojans, Horns and the Tide. You never hear anything about the Sooners, Wolverines, N-lions, Gators, Ducks, Irish, Buckeyes and others. To be one of the 5 teams always mentioned in this topic is a huge honor.
1995 Nebraska without a doubt. There average game score was 53-15.
Baltimore Z-Wad I agree and I’m a busker fan
GBR!!!!!
Baltimore Z-Wad Finally someone mentions it 🙄🙄
I swear no one ever mentions 95 nebraska except nebraskans and it fucking sucks
Tommie Frazier is the best college player I have ever seen, the 95 team wasnt built like an NFL team so they were never going to have to pro players Miami had. Would love to see the 01 Miami D vs 95 UN offense
The 01 Canes would've WAXXED ANY Alabama or Georgia team ever
Greatest team of all time hands down
Coach could literally close his eyes and point to an elite return guy.

Amazing what money can buy!
We was witnessing greatness with Miami in Early 2000
LOL 2013 FLORIDA STATE????? Why would that team even be in the same conversation of the greatest cfb teams of all time
Im a FSU fan, but i have to agree with you lol. When i heard that shit , i was like huh??
Florida State outscored opponents 723-170 in 2013... Auburn was the only close game all season
That 2013 FSU team was real good but their '99 team was stoked! That was the best Seminole team of all-time and they validated by holding off superhuman Michael Vick in the Sugar Bowl
The 1993 team is better than the 99 and 2013 team
@@cmoneyno5 they ('93) we're good but they lost the one game that truly validated their season to ND, who then turned around a week later and couldn't even beat Boston College on the same home field! '99 completed the entire job!
