I'm just wondering if you know, but did any of the starters on the team not play professionally, save the late Campbell? Just curious.

Paul Bear Byrant LOL oh dang wait please Bama fans put down the switch to the Nuclear Weapon. Please calm down don't get out your deer rifle. Oh yea and by the way He just a man and Santa doesnt exsit lol. What the only two living creatures that can live 20 years off a dead bear. A Maget and a Alabama fan. I would say Phil Fulmer I know that he was a Vol but let be honest David Cutcliff carried him for a long time.

Ken Dorsey was pretty average.

I understand that his job wasn't hard, and the guy was no exceptional athlete, but it says something that their worst starter was invited to multiple Heisman ceremonies. And I'm not trying to argue that say everyone was a Heisman trophy quality player or anything like that, I'm just saying that they made a quarterback who turned out to be average, look untouchable for a couple years.

LaVell Edwards at BYU is the most undeserving. BYU won by beating a unrated Michigan team in the Holiday Bowl in 1984. Most undeserving team ever to win a NC.

Nebraska buzzsawed everybody. Beat four top 10 teams. The NC game is no comparison. Nebraska had to face UF and Steve Spurrier while Miami played a Nebraska team coming off an absolute ass whooping led by Frank Solich. Let's not forget, Tom Osborne vs Larry Coker.

those teams, in retrospect, sucked.

In a couple of years, the most overrated HC to win a title will be Lane Kiffin. I'll bet $1,000, though, that when he wins a title at USC it won't be against an SEC opponent.

Note: These predictions are based on the assumption that nothing major will happen to USC for all of their scandals.

Great minds. My original post said he was the Wuerffel of the 2000's.

I don't remember Wuerffel, but I'd guess his success had more to do with Spurrier's brilliance, while Dorsey's had more to do with the fact that he was surrounded by first rounders and NFL player. The only way he could really blow it was by being an idiot, IMO.

Okay, but that '01 Nebraska team sucked harder.

They did, but they had the fortune of playing against Coker.

Nebraska rolled an even better option team into Miami for the Orange Bowl with Turner Gill at the helm. Miami, with much less talent than the 01 squad, shut that show down. Weird fumblerooskis and such made it a game, but Miami's safety speed makes the option a tough O.

Florida had quite a few also. It didn't hurt that Spurrier's playcalling and offensive design were such that a QB could simply drop back, count to 2.5, and launch it to a particular spot knowing that the receiver would be open, though.

Oh, I'm sure he did, but Dorsey spent his career throwing to the likes of Santana Moss, Reggie Wayne, Jeremey Shockey, Andre Johnson, Kellen Winslow, etc. While handing off to Portis, McGahee, Gore, etc. Also behind a really good offensive line. Nick Stephens could have made all conference with that talent to work with on offense.

At the end of the year, the teams they beat finished 2,5,11,12.

didn't UGA finish 2nd a couple years ago after beating down Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl. Hell, didn't Michigan win a national title after beating Wazzu to take it home? That stuff doesn't make them the best.

If we're talking about who dominated in a particular season, then Nebraska fits the bill.
