2004 USC > 2001 Miami according to Pat Forde.

[SuperKevin]

I think people are skewed by the NFL success of the Miami players. That USC team was unparallelled at the college level.

I thought Forde wrote about basketball.

True there's way too much emphasis on things like how many NFL players so and so team had.

I love it when people try and say shit like that. Seriously, a really talented college team has what, MAYBE 20 future NFL'ers? I'm just throwing a number out there but the point remains the same.

An NFL team is obviously chock full of guys who were (for the most part, save guys like Willie Parker, etc) stars in college. Just a dumb statement to make all around.

If you reassembled that same team after they received NFL experience, they'd compete in the NFL. The only weak point would be at QB, with Ken Dorsey, otherwise, they'd be a complete NFL team.

They had 51 players who at the very least had a cup of coffee in the NFL.

I agree with that, but he said they would compete that season. not after they got nfl experience

And the 02 Miami team was the true National Champions and the bogus pass interference call should have propelled them higher than Ohio State. Regardless of the way that game turned out Miami had a game winning stop only to have a flag thrown 10 seconds after the whistle...

Oh, really? I'd love to see you try and prove how it was a bogus pass interference call.

Please, be my guest.

Insert "Jeez not this shit again" meme here. I know it's not Ohio State fans fault, other fans bring it up, but they can never avoid the bait in this one.

People need to STFU about that shit, it was 6 years ago, and it was a legit call. Even if it wasn't, it was how the ref saw it, that's his job, he's paid to make the call, he made it, the game counts.

There is no point in arguing it sportsbuck, everyone who has a brain has seen those pictures a million times and sees Gamble is getting molested while the ball is in the air.

I just wish that same ref was working the 06 LSU-Auburn game.

2001 Miami is by far the best team of the decade... that 04 USC team is 2nd best but there's a good sized gap between the two and thats talking about how they performed that season at the college level.

 

[Sharkweather]

P.I., defensive holding, facemask.

Take your pick. Glen Sharpe fucked up.

 

[SuperKevin]

I actually don't even remember the play. I blocked everything out from that game after the Willis McGahee hit.

Just annoys me to this day.. much like it probably annoys you when people try to call USC national champs in 03.

 

[Nash]

if UGA hadn't shit the bed against Florida in 2002, we would have been on this list :smh:

 

[jaxjaggywires]

09 Alabama is waaay too high. Sure, they beat the snot out of the Gators, but very well could have been routed against Texas the way things were going until McCoy got hurt. Still almost lost it against a QB with no experience...

Way too high.

Got it. Say no more.

P.I., defensive holding, facemask.

No PI, didn't hold, didn't touch the facemask.

Its water under the bridge at this point, but it didn't happen.

 

[Sharkweather]

Oh hello Miami fan.

Shocker.

 

[Sportsbuck]

Its water under the bridge at this point, but it didn't happen.

The holding occured at the beginning of the play when Sharpe grabbed Gamble's jersey on his left shoulder when he was trying to jam him.. and holding was the original call from Terry Porter in the first place.

At around 1:20 in [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMvjADmxhVw&feature=player_embedded#"]this[/ame] you can clearly see Sharpe grab Gamble's facemask and actually begin to pull his helmet down... obvious facemask right there.

Miami fans shouldn't be complaining about this play, they should be asking then defensive coordinator Randy Shannon how in the world he let Craig Krenzel convert a 4th and 14 with a pass on the same overtime drive.

This is continuously listed by referees as one of the best calls in history, and it's been verified time after time by countless organizations and people. The only thing that was controversial about it was that Porter waited a few seconds to throw the flag.

Watch that video.

Clearly wasn't a penalty.

I just watched the vid you posted, lol...I've seen that one before...it basically says "there were lots of potential infractions, it doesn't matter that the one that was called was bogus...they all resulted in a first down"...lol...that is some shit logic..."the call they made is irrelevant!"

Awesome, can't beat that logic.

Also can't beat the logic "well, Miami should have stopped them on 4th and 14!" yeah, as if that has anything to do with the bad call made four plays later.

Looks like we got ourselves a situation
