Sports Illustrated chose the ten best teams who just missed out on a Championship game berth in the BCS era. The 2000 Miami football team missed out on a chance to play for a National Championship because of controversy. Richt’s 2002 Georgia team missed out because of a narrow loss.
The 2000 Miami football team was arguably the most talented team to not win, let alone get a chance at playing for a National Championship. The Hurricanes omission in 2000 caused a lot of controversy. They had defeated Florida State that season on a late Ken Dorsey to Jeremy Shockey touchdown.
