The consensus stated UM’s 2001 team should be first. The 2001 Miami football team has been widely regarded as the best in college football history. Only two teams ahead of the 2001 Hurricanes on the ESPN list. Texas 2005 team led by Vince Young and Florida’s 2008 team with Tim Tebow.
Texas’ 2005 team at least went undefeated. The 2008 Gators had some impressive numbers led by Head Coach Urban Meyer and Tebow at quarterback. What they did not have was an undefeated season. The Gators lone loss was at home to a 9-4 Mississippi team led by Houston Nutt.
