It’s common knowledge that the 2001 Miami Hurricanes are the greatest college football team of all time. Players like Ed Reed, Clinton Portis, Andre Johnson and Jon Vilma filled the ranks of a team loaded with NFL talent from head to toe. It’s not quite hyperbole to say that the 2001 Canes were the 32nd NFL team that year (no Houston Texans in 2001).
2002’s team doesn’t need much introduction either. Miami continued their winning streak from the year previously and, though not as dominant as 2001, still managed to handle teams week in and week out on their way to 12 wins.
