In a post ranking the top 50 fan bases in college football by Canes Warning’s partner site Saturday Blitz, the Miami football fanbase was ranked the 16th best in the country. The statement by detractors claiming Miami is not relevant anymore is not entirely true.

The Miami football program was a dynasty from the early 1980s through the mid-1990s and against in the early 2000s. Many rivals and detractors have claimed that Miami football is not relevant anymore. Although not the elite program it once was, the Hurricanes are still in the national consciousness.
