Miami did not "handle" FSU in 2000 .... why you think they call em "Wide Right I, II, III" .... I'll give ya 2001 ... Miami straight diesel in 2001 ... sickest team i've seen ... but in 2000, y'all had to put it all on the line to win that ... don't say ya didn't ....
Sure there were good players on that team but I mean D.J. Williams, Frank Gore, Jeremy Shockey, Phil Buchannon, Johnathon Vilma all blew up in 2001, not to mention Andre Johnson and Clinton Portis. They gave up 5 passing TDs all year and were sacked just 4 times while sacking the opponent 39 times. The average score was 43-9. They also only gave up 7 rushing TDs that's 12 TDs in an entire season. Those stats don't include that joke of a rose bowl against Nebraska.
Dude how could you seriously say that they werent even close? Just look at the schedule: They're only lost was the 2nd game of the season to UW that finished #3 in the polls and had Marcus Tuliasesopo. They beat the last good FSU team with Chris Weinke. They Dominated Va Tech [With Mike Vick] 41-21.They clobbered 5th ranked Florida in the Sugar Bowl 37-20. And they had 4 players drafted in the 1st round. To say they werent even close is crazy. But I'd like to know why you think that.
Sure that OU team was a good one. But Miami absolutely handled FSU that year [despite FSU's late comeback]. IMO that '00 UM team was better than the 01 UM team. With stars like Santana Moss, Reggie Wayne, Bubba Franks, Dan Morgan and Al Blades as seniors how could they not be considered better. Im not saying UM would've stem rolled OU, but we definitely had enough firepower to win.
Awesome

The 01 team had some the best Canes ever in their junior and senoir years. I don't think the 00 tean was even close

I don't think UM woulda definetly beat OU, that Oklahoma team was no joke and UM wasn't quite as good in 2000 as they were in 2001

They shouldn't have even been there, that was supposed to be Miami's 5th National Title.

If you're talking about FSU without Warrick they went to the title game and laid an egg
